Aynal Hoque and Anr v. Shajahan Ali and Ors

ORDER

03-06-2024 Heard Mr. A. Alim Sk, learned counsel for the applicant, who by means of this application has prayed for condonation of delay of 884 days in preferring the connected appeal. Office Note dated 04.05.2024 reflects that notices have been served upon the respondent nos. 1 to 10 and the said note has also been accepted by this Court in its order dated 10.05.2024. The respondents have chosen not to contest the application. The learned counsel has drawn the attention of this Court to the averments made in paragraphs 6 & 7 and has submitted that there were sufficient reasons which had prevented the applicant to prefer the appeal within the prescribed period of limitation. An application for condonation of delay is to be examined from the perspective of the grounds of delay cited. In an appropriate case, even the aspect of delay would be relevant if it is an inordinate delay. It is a settled law that in adjudication of such application, a pragmatic and justice oriented approach is required. Considering the above principles and reasons cited, the instant IA for Page No.# 4/4 condonation of delay is allowed.
