Esha Bhattacharjee vs Mg.Commit.Of Raghunathpur Nafar ... on 13 September, 2013
are justified in dismissing the application and the appeal
respectively. In the matter of condoning delay, liberal view
is the general rule with certain exceptions. Lack of bona
fides imputable to a party seeking condonation of delay is a
relevant factor falling under the exception. Here, the
reason for delay was found to be an utter falsehood.
Therefore, the petitioner was not entitled to get the delay
condoned, by taking a liberal view. The above view is
supported by the decision of the Apex Court in Isha
Bhattacharjee v. Managing Committee of
Raghunathpur Nafar Academy and others [2013 (12)
SCC 649]. We do not find any reason to interfere with the
concurrent findings of the courts below. Hence this Rent
Control Revision will stand dismissed.
