Akshay Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Damodar Valley Corporation and ors.

Court: Jharkhand

Decided on: Aug-20-2003

Reported in: [2003(4)JCR173(Jhr)]

P.K. Balasubramanyan, C.J.1. This appeal by respondent No. 5 in WP (C) No. 1514 of 2002 against the judgment dated 1.10.2002 was filed on 18.2.2003. Going by the certified copy of the judgment under appeal accompanying the memorandum of appeal, the appeal ought to have been filed on or before 31.10.2002. Hence, it was delayed. The fact that the appeal was belated was pointed out by the Registry while pointing out the defects and calling upon the appellant to remove the same. Inspite of it, the appellant did not even bother to file an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act praying for condoning the delay, leave alone making out sufficient cause for condoning the delay. It may be noted that the appeal came up on 3.3.2003 and again on 21.3.2003 and thereafter on 15.4.2003. Inspite of it, no attempt was made to file an application for condoning the delay. Such an obdurate persistence in not filing the application for condoning the delay in filing the appeal cannot be overlooked....
