Pochampally Raju Bai v. Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE T.AMARNATH GOUD I.A.NO. 1 OF 2018 AND M.A.C.M.A.No. 450 of 2018 COMMON JUDGMENT:

Though learned counsel for the appellant submitted that he has given details of condoning the delay of 1359 days in filing the appeal, no such day to day delay or any cogent reasons have been stated.

Learned counsel for the appellant also submitted that the appellant will forego interest for the delay period. Respondents filed counter vehemently opposing for condoning the inordinate delay and relied on judgment of the Apex Court in Estate Officer, Haryana Urban Development Authority and another v Gopi Chand Atreja1 that the inordinate delay and unexplained delay cannot be condoned.

As there are no proper reasons explaining the inordinate delay and in view of decision of the Apex Court in Gopichand Atreja's case referred supra, the condone delay application is dismissed and accordingly, MACMA is closed. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this appeal shall stand closed.
