The High Court dismissed the condonation of delay application and the accompanying writ appeal. The Court held the appeal was barred by a delay of over 241 days and laches, relying on its own prior order confirmed by the Apex Court.
The I.A. and the writ appeal were dismissed as they merited no consideration due to delay and laches.
