[2] 3.
From a perusal of the above, it would be seen that the reason set out is that after dismissal of the writ petition, the appellant was pursuing with the officials of the State Government even offering the price of the land. This runs totally contrary to the earlier part of the averment, wherein it is stated that the appellant is a very poor person. Even, any detail of pursuance of the matter with the officials of the State Government is not set out in the delay condonation application and only absolutely vague allegations have been made.
4.
In view of the fact that the allegations are absolutely vague and as a matter of fact there exists no plausible explanation as to constitute sufficient ground to condone the inordinate delay of 694 days in filing the appeal, we are not inclined to condone the same. 5.
The delay condonation application accordingly stands dismissed and, as a consequence, appeal stands dismissed as barred by limitation.
