2/4 CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE S. KUMAR ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) ======================================================= (The proceedings of the Court are being conducted by Hon'ble the Chief Justice/ Hon'ble Judges through Video Conferencing from their residential offices/residences. Also, the Advocates and the Staffs joined the proceedings through Video Conferencing from their residences/offices.) ======================================================= Date : 04-09-2021 Re: I.A. No. 1 of 2019 The instant Interlocutory Application has been filed for condonation of delay of 211 days in filing the present appeal.
Without application of mind, in a stereo type manner, the application has been prepared, bereft of material facts and particulars, explaining each day's delay.
Relevant portions of the application are reproduced as under:- "
3/4 "
As such, we do not find any reason, sufficient enough to condone the delay, for each day's delay has not been explained, much less sufficiently explained by the appellants. The delay of 211 days in filing the appeal remains
4/4 unexplained.
As such, Interlocutory Application No. 1 of 2019 stands dismissed.
Re: L.P.A. No. 915 of 2019 Appellants lay challenge to the impugned judgment dated 3rd of December, 2018 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in CWJC No. 6183 of 2018, titled as Sri Ranjeet Kumar Srivastava & Ors. Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors. In view of dismissal of the Interlocutory Application No. 1 of 2019, the instant Letters Patent Appeal also stands dismissed.
Interlocutory Application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
