Enlargement or abridgement of time, Order VI, r. 2(14) of the Supreme Court Rules, 1966 speaks of applications for enlargement or abridgement of time. Here the words 'enlargement or abridgement of time' take in applications for enlargement of time appointed by the Rules. The significant feature in the Rules is that applications for condonation of delay in filing special leave petition are excepted from the business of a Chamber Judge.
