Collector Land Acquisition, Anantnag & ... vs Mst. Katiji & Ors on 19 February, 1987

The stated reason for delay in filing the OA is that the applicant was going on a wrong track/direction and therefore he was unable to file OA before this Tribunal in time. Learned counsel for the applicant states that the delay was not a result of any indolence or negligence but was caused because the applicant was seeking remedy through appropriate statutory and judicial forums. The learned counsel further states that the applicant had approached the KEDAR KEDA RAM 2025.12.11 R RAM 17:05:47 +05'30' (OA No.783-2025) (5) CIC, Hon'ble Delhi High Court and finally the Hon'ble Supreme Court under the impression that the RTI Act is to be the correct route. It was only upon the conclusion of those proceedings he was advised to approach this Tribunal. He contends that pursuing remedies in wrong forum based on legal advice does not tantamount to sufficient cause. Countering the claim of the respondents, he further submits that it was not the luxurious litigation and the delay was not intentional or malicious. He also places reliance the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Collector, Land Acquisition, Anantnag vs Katiji, AIR 1987 2 SCC 107 which held as follows:
