In Brief
In this case, the appellants—an Estate Officer of Haryana Urban Development Authority—sought condonation of 1942 days' delay in filing a second appeal challenging a suit for permanent and mandatory injunction. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's refusal to condone the delay. The Court held that the delay was inordinate, inadequately explained, and lacked sufficient cause under the Limitation Act, 1963. Since the appellants were aware of the adverse orders but took no timely action, their appeal was dismissed.
