The challenge is to an order passed by the first Appellate Authority/R2, who, vide proceedings dated 09.12.2020, has returned the appeal filed by the petitioner on the ground that the same is belated.

¶14

Mr.Jayaprathap would fairly state that the recent judgment of the Supreme Court taking cognizance of the ongoing covid pandemic and extending the dates of limitation for filing of appeal have not been taken into account by the Appellate Authority and if this were to be done the appeal ought to have been taken on file to be adjudicated and disposed on merits.
