3. The parties in these Appeals will be referred to as they are

arrayed in the Writ Petitions for convenience.

4. The issue involved in these cases is pertaining to the recruitment

of 2,324 posts of Multi Purpose Health Assistants (Male) [for short “MPHAs
9

(Male)”] in the combined State of Andhra Pradesh which were notified on

20.07.2002. After several rounds of litigation from erstwhile Andhra Pradesh

Administrative Tribunal at Hyderabad to the Hon‟ble Apex Court, this issue

had not attained finality.

5. On 20.07.2002, the erstwhile Government of Andhra Pradesh

issued a notification for recruitment of 2,324 posts of MPHAs (Male) in all the

districts in the erstwhile State of Andhra Pradesh along with some other

paramedical posts. As per the said notification, the prescribed qualification is a

pass in S.S.C. with a certificate in training course in MPHA (Male) from an

institute recognized by the then Government of Andhra Pradesh. With respect

to the said notification, some of the candidates approached the erstwhile

Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad in O.A.No.6856 of 2002

and batch. The said O.As., were dismissed by the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh

Administrative Tribunal at Hyderabad on 30.07.2002.

6. Aggrieved by the same, W.P.No.15107 of 2002 and batch of writ

petitions were filed. A Division Bench of the erstwhile High Court of Andhra

Pradesh at Hyderabad, by order, dated 11.09.2003, disposed of the writ

petitions directing the State Government to prepare the select list of

candidates in accordance with the Rules, who possessed S.S.C. and Diploma

certificates either from the Government institutions or from four (04) private

institutions and issue appointment orders, within a period of four (04) weeks,

duly terminating the services of those candidates, who were appointed by

virtue of the orders, dated 18.04.2003 passed by the High Court.
10

7. The order, dated 11.09.2003 in W.P.No.15107 of 2002 and batch

were challenged before the Hon‟ble Apex Court in SLP (C) No.1925-44/2004.

The Hon‟ble Apex Court was pleased to issue interim order, dated 06.02.2004

not to make any fresh appointments in pursuance of the judgment of the High

Court in W.P.No.15107 of 2002 and batch and also directed not to disturb the

appointments which have already been made. Thereafter, in the Interlocutory

Application filed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in the said SLP, the

Hon‟ble Apex Court by order, dated 07.08.2006 was pleased to vacate the

orders granting stay on 06.02.2004 and permitted the State Government to fill

up the vacancies from the selected candidates subject to the outcome of

Special Leave Petitions.

8. At that stage, the Hon‟ble Apex Court recorded the statement of

learned Additional Solicitor General that the candidates who were already

appointed shall not be reverted. Pursuant to the orders of the Hon‟ble Apex

Court, dated 07.08.2006, the State Government had issued G.O.Rt.No.1234,

dated 15.09.2006 for filling up of the posts of MPHAs (Male). Though the

Government is permitted to fill up the posts from the merit list of 2002 written

examination, it appears appellants were made appointments contrary to the

merit list. The Hon‟ble Apex Court had dismissed the Special Leave Petitions

filed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh by judgment, dated 09.08.2011

and as such the orders passed by the Division Bench, dated 11.09.2003 in

W.P.No.15107 of 2002 and batch were confirmed.

11

9. In view of the judgment of the Hon‟ble Apex Court in Special

Leave Petitions, the persons, who were appointed in terms of

G.O.Rt.No.1234, dated 15.09.2006 as also by virtue of interim orders passed

by the erstwhile High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad based on

Intermediate as educational qualification were terminated vide G.O.Rt.No.273,

dated 16.02.2012. In compliance of the orders in W.P.No.15107 of 2002 and

batch, a fresh list was drawn.

10. The candidates whose services were terminated by virtue of the

G.O.Rt.No.273, dated 16.02.2012, made representations to the Government

of Andhra Pradesh. The State Government appointed a committee consisting

a group of Ministers to take action on the said representations. As per the

advice of the committee of the group of Ministers, the State Government

issued G.O.Rt.No.1207, dated 09.10.2013 to take back all the 1,200 MPHAs

(Male).

11. Aggrieved by the action of the Government in issuing

G.O.Rt.No.1207, dated 09.10.2013, some of the candidates filed O.A.No.7441

of 2013 and batch before the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh Administrative

Tribunal at Hyderabad. The erstwhile Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal

at Hyderabad by order, dated 28.11.2013 has dismissed the said

O.A.No.7441 of 2013 and batch. Against the same, W.P.No.38060 of 2013

and batch filed before the erstwhile High Court of Andhra Pradesh at

Hyderabad. At initial stage, the High Court was pleased to grant stay of

appointments made pursuant to G.O.Rt.No.1207, dated 09.10.2013.
12

Thereafter, the High Court was pleased to issue directions on 15.09.2015 in

W.P.M.P.No.1015 of 2014 directing the respondent authorities therein to make

efforts to implement the judgment of the High Court, dated 09.11.2003 in

W.P.No.15107 of 2002 and batch. Pursuant to the said order, the Government

of Andhra Pradesh issued Memo No.7342/G2/2015-8, dated 24.05.2016

directing the Director of Public Health and Family Welfare, Andhra Pradesh,

Hyderabad to take necessary action as per the orders of High Court, dated

15.09.2015 in W.P.No.38060 of 2013 and batch and to appoint the candidates

who are remained in the common seniority list (SSC and Inter) prepared as

per the orders of the High Court/Hon‟ble Apex Court after filling up 2,324 posts

of MPHAs (Male) and having merit over the individuals appointed through

G.O.Rt.No.1207, HM&FW Department, dated 09.10.2013 at first instance by

terminating the individuals if necessary, those were appointed vide

G.O.Rt.No.1207, dated 09.10.2013 and having lesser merit among the

individuals, who appointed so and thereafter keeping in view the observation

of the High Court and take action to accommodate such terminated individuals

as per their merit subject to availability of vacancies of MPHAs (M) with the

prior permission of the Government only after completion of above task.

12. All the facts stated above are undisputed.

13. At that stage, several writ petitions in W.P.No.2571 of 2023 and

batch are filed seeking direction to the respondents therein to strictly adhere to

the orders of the High Court, dated 15.09.2015 in W.P.No.38060 of 2013 and

batch and also Memo issued by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in Memo
13

No.7342/G2/2015-8, dated 24.05.2016 and appoint them as Multi Purpose

Health Assistants (Male). The said W.P.No.2571 of 2023 and batch of writ

petitions were disposed of on different dates with the following directions:

(i) The respondents shall consider the cases of the writ petitioners for
appointment as MPHAs within a period of four (04) weeks from the date
of receipt of copy of the order, in terms of Memo No.7342/G2/2015-8,
dated 24.05.2016 based on their merit, if any candidate less meritorious
than the writ petitioners are appointed;

(ii) If any of the writ petitioners have not submitted the relevant
certificates/documents, they should be called upon to submit the same
by granting reasonable time of not less than four (04) weeks;

(iii) In the event of any genuine objection for considering the case of any
of the writ petitioners, they shall be notified by the same by issuing
appropriate notice/communication and afforded an opportunity before
taking further action in the matter.

14. Aggrieved by the orders passed by the learned single Judges in

various writ petitions W.P.No.2571 of 2023 and batch on different dates, the

State preferred the present writ appeals. All these appeals are heard together

with the consent of both sides as common issue involved.

15. It is also an admitted fact that there is delay in filing the writ

appeals. At this stage, the learned Senior Counsel Sri B. Adinarayana Rao,

appearing for the respondents, has raised a preliminary objection and sought

to hear the delay condonation petitions at first and requested to decide the

same. Accordingly, the delay condonation petitions in all the appeals are

taken for consideration.

14

16. Mr. E. Samba Siva Pratap, learned Additional Advocate General,

appearing for the appellants/State Government, would submit that subsequent

to the disposal of the writ petitions by the learned single Judges of this Court

on different dates, the High Court of Telangana passed final orders in

W.P.No.38060 of 2013 and batch, dated 29.11.2024, setting aside the

G.O.Rt.No.1207, HM&FW Department, dated 09.10.2013. He would submit

that pursuant to the orders passed in W.P.No.38060 of 2013 and batch, dated

29.11.2024 by the High Court of Telangana, the appellants herein have

terminated all the appointments issued through G.O.Rt.No.1207, HM&FW

Department, dated 09.10.2013. He would submit that as the orders passed in

W.P.No.2571 of 2023 are pursuant to the interim orders, dated 15.09.2015

passed in W.P.No.38060 of 2013 and since the final orders were passed in

W.P.No.38060 of 2013 by the High Court of Telangana, the interim orders

losses its significances. He further contends that in the light of the order, dated

29.11.2024 in W.P.No.38060 of 2013 passed by the High Court of Telangana,

the orders passed in all the writ petitions which were under challenge in the

present writ appeals have to be set aside.

17. The learned Additional Advocate General advanced his

arguments to substantiate the delay caused in filing the writ appeals is that in

view of the order, dated 29.11.2024 in W.P.No.38060 of 2013 passed by the

High Court of Telangana, the State has decided to file writ appeals against the

orders passed by the learned single Judges of this Court in different writ

petitions on different dates, there is delay in filing the writ appeals and the
15

delay is neither willful nor wanton. Accordingly, he prayed to condone the

delay in filing the writ appeals, otherwise, he would submit that, the appellants

will be put to irreparable loss and hardships.

18. On the other hand, Sri B. Adinarayana Rao, learned Senior

Counsel, appearing for the respondents vehemently opposed to condone the

delay in filing the writ appeals in the absence of any sufficient cause to

condone the delay. He would submit that the appellants failed to show any

sufficient cause to condone the delay and the reasons stated in the

accompanying affidavits filed along with the delay petitions are very vague

and no proper reasons are stated. Accordingly, he sought to dismiss the delay

condonation petitions.

19. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the respondents has

relied on the latest judgment of the Hon‟ble Apex Court in Delhi Development

Authority vs. Tejpal and others 1 and would submit that subsequent to

overruling of a judgment cannot be a sufficient cause to condone the delay.

The relevant portions of the said judgment are extracted herein under:

28. We find adequate support to our afore-stated reason in Tilokchand &

Motichand v. H.B. Munishi2, in which a 5-Judge Bench of this Court
had the occasion to consider the question of condonation of delay on the
basis of subsequent charge of law. While giving the majority opinion,
Hidayatullah, CJ. held:

“[…] Everybody is presumed to know the law. It was his duty to
have brought the matter before this Court for consideration. In any event,
having set the machinery of law in motion he cannot abandon it to

1
(2024) 5 SCR
2
(1969) 1 SCC 110
16

resume it after a number of years, because another person more
adventurous than he in his turn got the statue declared
unconstitutional, and got a favourable decision. If I were to hold
otherwise, then the decision of the High Court in any case once
adjudicated upon and acquiesced in, may be questioned in a fresh
litigation revived only with the argument that the correct position
was not known to the petitioner at the time when he abandoned his
own litigation. […]”

[emphasis supplied]

29. Finally, the fourth reason why subsequent overruling of a judgment

cannot be a sufficient cause is because when a case is overruled, it is
only its binding nature as a precedent that is taken away and the lis
between the parties is still deemed to have been settled by the overruled
case. It is a settled principle of law that even an erroneous decision
operates as res judicata between the parties. Hence, when Manoharlal
(supra) overruled Pune Municipal Corporation (supra) and Sree
Balaji Nagar Residential Association (supra) as well as all other cases
relying on them, it only overruled their precedential value, and did not
reopen the lis between the parties. The mere fact that the impugned
orders in the present case were overruled by Manoharlal (supra) would
not, therefore, be a sufficient ground to argue that the cases should be
reopened.

32. To sum up, we hold that subsequent change of law will not be
attracted unless a case is pending before the competent court awaiting
its final adjudication. To say it differently, if a case has already been
decided, it cannot be re-opened and re-decided solely on the basis of a
new interpretation given to law.

20. The learned Senior Counsel has also placed reliance on the

latest judgment of the Hon‟ble Apex Court in Shivamma (died) by LRs. Vs.

Karnataka Housing Board and others3. The relevant portions of the said

judgment are extracted herein under:

3

2025 INSC 1104
17

261. Thus, for the reasons aforesaid, the impugned order of the High Court

deserves to be set aside. Before we proceed to close this judgment, we
deem it appropriate to make it abundantly clear that administrative lethargy
and laxity can never stand as a sufficient ground for condonation of delay,
and we want to convey an emphatic message to all the High Courts that
delays shall not be condoned on frivolous and superficial grounds, until a
proper case of sufficient cause is made out, wherein the State-machinery is
able to establish that it acted with bona fides and remained vigilant all
throughout. Procedure is a handmaid to justice, as is famously said. But
courts, and more particularly the constitutional courts, ought not to obviate
the procedure for a litigating State agency, who also equally suffer the bars
of limitation from pursuing litigations due to its own lackadaisical attitude.

262. The High Courts ought not give a legitimizing effect to such callous

attitude of State authorities or its instrumentalities, and should remain extra
cautious, if the party seeking condonation of delay is a State-authority. They
should not become surrogates for State laxity and lethargy. The
constitutional courts ought to be cognizant of the apathy and pangs of a
private litigant. Litigants cannot be placed in situations of perpetual
litigations, wherein the fruits of their decrees or favourable orders are
frustrated at later stages. We are at pains to reiterate this everlasting trend,
and put all the High Courts to notice, not to reopen matters with inordinate
delay, until sufficient cause exists, as by doing so the courts only add insult
to the injury, more particularly in appeals under Section 100 of the CPC,
wherein its jurisdiction is already limited to questions of law.

263. Limitation periods are prescribed to maintain a sweeping scope for the

lis to attain for finality. More than the importance of judicial time, what
worries us is the plight of a litigant with limited means, who is to contest
against an enormous State, and its elaborate and never-exhausting
paraphernalia. Such litigations deserve to be disposed of at the very
threshold, because, say if a party litigating against the State, for whatever
reason, is unable to contest the condonation of delay in appeal, unlike the
present case, it reopens the lis for another round of litigation, and leaves
such litigant listless yet again. As courts of conscience, it is our obligation
that we assure that a litigant is not sent from pillar to post to seek justice.

18

264. No litigant should be permitted to be so lethargic and apathetic, much

less be permitted by the courts to misuse the process of law.

21. Learned Senior Counsel has drawn the attention of this Court to

the latest order of the Hon‟ble Apex Court in State of Odisha and others vs.

Managing Committee of Namatara Girls High School4 wherein the Hon‟ble

Apex Court has dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed with a delay of 123

days. The relevant portions are extracted herein under:

20. We have found the State of Odisha to be utterly lethargic, tardy and

indolent not only before the High Court but also before this Court.

Notwithstanding that its appeal was dismissed as time-barred by the High
Court, this Court has been approached by the State of Odisha four months
after expiry of the period of limitation.

21. Condonation of delay cannot be claimed as a matter of right. It is entirely

the discretion of the Court whether or not to condone delay. Despite all the
latitude that is shown to a “State”, we are of the clear opinion that the cause
sought to be shown here by the State of Odisha is not an explanation but a
lame excuse. No case for exercise of discretion has been set up.

22. The applications for condonation of delay in filing the special leave petition

and condonation of delay in re-filing the same, thus, stand rejected, with the
result that the special leave petition stands dismissed as time-barred.

22. Having heard the submissions of the learned counsel on either

side and upon perusing material available on record, we have to consider

whether the reasons stated in the affidavits filed by the petitioners for the

delay caused in filing the writ appeals would establish “sufficient cause” for

condonation of such a huge delay or not in the light of the judgments of the

Hon‟ble Apex Court as stated supra.

4

2026 INSC 148
19

23. In view of the above submissions made on either side, it is

relevant to look into the averments made in the affidavits filed by the

petitioners/appellants along with the delay condonation petitions as extracted

herein under:

“6. It is necessary to submit here that subsequent to the disposal
of the above WP No.2571/2023, the Hon‟ble High Court of Telangana
passed Final Orders in WP No.38060/2013 on 29.11.2024 setting aside
G.O.Rt.No.1207 HM&FW dept. dated 07.10.213.

7. It is submitted that in pursuant to the orders passed in WP
No.38060/2013 dated 29.11.2024, the Appellants herein have
terminated all the appointments issued through G.O.Rt.No.1207
HM&FW dept. dated 07.10.213. As the orders passed in WP
No.2571/2023 are pursuant to the interim orders dated 15.09.2015
passed in WP No.38060/2023 and since the final orders were passed in
the above WP No.38060/2013, the interim order loses its significance.
Therefore, the order passed in W.P.No.2571 of 2023, dated 03.02.2023
must be set aside in view of the final order passed in W.P.No.38060 of
2013 dated 29.11.2024. However, there is delay in filing this WA due to
the above reasons.

8.Hence challenging the said orders passed in WP No.2571/2023
dated 20.03.2023, the appellants herein are filing the present WA.
However there is a delay of 709 days in filing the present appeal. The
above said delay in filing the Writ Appeal is only for the reasons stated
above and is neither willful nor wanton. If this Hon‟ble Court does not
condone the delay in filing the present Writ Appeal, the appellants
herein will be put to irreparable loss and hardship.

9. It is therefore prayed that this Hon‟ble High Court may be
pleased to condone the delay of 709 days in filing the Writ Appeal in the
interest of Justice and pass such other order or orders as this Hon‟ble
Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of this
case”.

20

24. On careful perusal of the averments of the affidavits extracted

herein above, it is clear that the appellants herein has decided to file writ

appeals against the orders passed by the learned single Judges of this Court

in several writ petitions consequent to the order, dated 29.11.2024 in

W.P.No.38060 of 2013 passed by the High Court of Telangana.

25. The Hon‟ble Apex Court in Delhi Development Authority‘s case (1

supra), it was held that subsequent change of law will not be attracted unless

a case is pending before the competent Court awaiting its final adjudication.

The Hon‟ble Apex Court clarified that if a case has already been decided, it

cannot be re-opened and re-decided solely on the basis of a new

interpretation given to that law. Accordingly, it was held that subsequent

overruling of a judgment cannot be a sufficient cause when a case is

overruled, it is only its binding nature as a precedent that is taken away and

the lis between the parties is still deemed to have been settled by the

overruled case.

26. In the light of the finding of the Hon‟ble Apex Court on this aspect,

we do not find any substance in the contentions of the learned Additional

Advocate General that the State is decided to file these writ appeals as per

the order of the High Court of Telangana in W.P.No.38060 of 2013, dated

29.11.2024. Subsequent order of the Telangana High Court, dated

29.11.2024 in W.P.No.38060 of 2013 and batch would not be a ground to file

appeals against the orders in several writ petitions which were disposed of by
21

this High Court with certain directions. In our considered view, it would not

constitute the “sufficient cause”.

27. Besides this, the appellants should state valid legal grounds

seeking to condone the abnormal delay in filing the writ appeals.

28. In the case of Office of Chief Post Master General and others

vs. Living Media India Ltd. and another5 the Hon‟ble Supreme Court while

dealing with a petition filed for condonation of delay of 427 days after

considering various decisions of the Hon‟ble Supreme Court, observed as

extracted hereunder:

12. It is not in dispute that the person(s) concerned were well aware or
conversant with the issues involved including the prescribed period of
limitation for taking up the matter by way of filing a special leave petition in
this Court. They cannot claim that they have a separate period of limitation
when the Department was possessed with competent persons familiar with
court proceedings. In the absence of plausible and acceptable explanation,
we are posing a question why the delay is to be condoned mechanically
merely because the Government or a wing of the Government is a party
before us. Though we are conscious of the fact that in a matter of
condonation of delay when there was no gross negligence or deliberate
inaction or lack of bonafide, a liberal concession has to be adopted to
advance substantial justice, we are of the view that in the facts and
circumstances, the Department cannot take advantage of various earlier
decisions. The claim on account of impersonal machinery and inherited
bureaucratic methodology of making several notes cannot be accepted in
view of the modern technologies being used and available. The law of
limitation undoubtedly binds everybody including the Government.

5

2012 LawSuit (SC) 124
22

13. In our view, it is the right time to inform all the government bodies, their
agencies and instrumentalities that unless they have reasonable and
acceptable explanation for the delay and there was bonafide effort, there is
no need to accept the usual explanation that the file was kept pending for
several months/years due to considerable degree of procedural red-tape in
the process. The government departments are under a special obligation to
ensure that they perform their duties with diligence and commitment.
Condonation of delay is an exception and should not be used as an
anticipated benefit for government departments. The law shelters everyone
under the same light and should not be swirled for the benefit of a few.
Considering the fact that there was no proper explanation offered by the
Department for the delay except mentioning of various dates, according to
us, the Department has miserably failed to give any acceptable and cogent
reasons sufficient to condone such a huge delay. Accordingly, the appeals
are liable to be dismissed on the ground of delay.

29. In another judgment, the Hon‟ble Supreme Court of India while

dealing with an application to condone the delay of 663 days came down

heavily, while dismissing the said application in The State of Madhya

Pradesh and others vs. Bherulal6 as extracted hereunder:

6. We are also of the view that the aforesaid approach is being adopted in
what we have categorized earlier as “certificate cases”. The object appears
to be to obtain a certificate of dismissal from the Supreme Court to put a
quietus to the issue and thus, say that nothing could be done because the
highest Court has dismissed the appeal. It is to complete this formality and
save the skin of officers who may be at default that such a process is
followed. We have on earlier occasions also strongly deprecated such a
practice and process. There seems to be no improvement. The purpose of
coming to this Court is not to obtain such certificates and if the Government
suffers losses, it is time when the concerned officer responsible for the
same bears the consequences. The irony is that in none of the cases any

6
2020 SCC OnLine SC 849
23

action is taken against the officers, who sit on the files and do nothing. It is
presumed that this Court will condone the delay and even in making
submissions, straight away counsels appear to address on merits without
referring even to the aspect of limitation as happened in this case till we
pointed out to the counsel that he must first address us on the question of
limitation.

7. We are thus, constrained to send a signal and we propose to do in all
matters today, where there are such inordinate delays that the Government
or State authorities coming before us must pay for wastage of judicial time
which has its own value. Such costs can be recovered from the officers
responsible.

8. Looking to the period of delay and the casual manner in which the
application has been worded, we consider appropriate to impose costs on
the petitioner- State of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand) to be
deposited with the Mediation and Conciliation Project Committee. The
amount be deposited in four weeks. The amount be recovered from the
officers responsible for the delay in filing the special leave petition and a
certificate of recovery of the said amount be also filed in this Court within
the said period of time.

30. The Hon‟ble Supreme Court in the case of Postmaster General

and others vs. Living Media India Ltd. and another7 wherein it is held as

hereunder:

“28. Though we are conscious of the fact that in a matter of condonation of
delay when there was no gross negligence or deliberate inaction or lack of
bona fides, a liberal concession has to be adopted to advance substantial
justice, we are of the view that in the facts and circumstances, the
Department cannot take advantage of various earlier decisions. The claim
on account of impersonal machinery and inherited bureaucratic
methodology of making several notes cannot be accepted in view of the

7
1992 (3) SCC 563
24

modern technologies being used and available. The law of limitation
undoubtedly binds everybody, including the Government.

29. In our view, it is the right time to inform all the government bodies, their
agencies and instrumentalities that unless they have reasonable and
acceptable explanation for the delay and there was bona fide effort, there is
no need to accept the usual explanation that the file was kept pending for
several months/years due to considerable degree of procedural red tape in
the process. The government departments are under a special obligation to
ensure that they perform their duties with diligence and commitment.
Condonation of delay is an exception and should not be used as an
anticipated benefit for the government departments. The law shelters
everyone under the same light and should not be swirled for the benefit of a
few.”

31. The Hon‟ble Apex Court as far back in 1962 in the case of

Ramlal, Motilal And Chhotelal vs. Rewa Coalfields Ltd8 has emphasized

that even after sufficient cause has been shown by a party for not filing an

appeal within time, the said party is not entitled to the condonation of delay as

excusing the delay is the discretionary jurisdiction vested with the court. The

court, despite establishment of a „sufficient cause‟ for various reasons, may

refuse to condone the delay depending upon the bona fides of the party.

32. In Maqbul Ahmad and Ors. vs. Onkar Pratap Narain Singh

and Ors. 9 , the Hon‟ble Apex Court held that the court cannot grant an

exemption from limitation on equitable consideration or on the ground of

hardship. The court has time and again repeated that when mandatory

provision is not complied with and delay is not properly, satisfactorily and

8
AIR 1962 SC 361
9
AIR 1935 PC 85
25

convincingly explained, it ought not to condone the delay on sympathetic

grounds alone.

33. It has also been settled vide State of Jharkhand & Ors. vs.

Ashok Kumar Chokhani & Ors., 10 that the merits of the case cannot be

considered while dealing with the application for condonation of delay in filing

the appeal.

34. In Basawaraj and Anr. vs. Special Land Acquisition Officer,11

this Court held that the discretion to condone the delay has to be exercised

judiciously based upon the facts and circumstances of each case. The

expression „sufficient cause‟ as occurring in Section 5 of the Limitation Act

cannot be liberally interpreted if negligence, inaction or lack of bona fide is writ

large. It was also observed that even though limitation may harshly affect

rights of the parties but it has to be applied with all its rigour as prescribed

under the statute as the courts have no choice but to apply the law as it

stands and they have no power to condone the delay on equitable grounds.

35. It would be beneficial to quote paragraph 12 of the aforesaid

decision which clinches the issue of the manner in which equilibrium has to be

maintained between adopting liberal approach and in implementing the statute

as it stands. Paragraph 12 reads as under:

“12. It is a settled legal proposition that law of limitation may harshly affect a
particular party but it has to be applied with all its rigour when the statute so

10
AIR 2009 SC 1927
11
(2013) 14 SCC 81
26

prescribes. The Court has no power to extend the period of limitation on
equitable grounds. “A result flowing from a statutory provision is never an
evil. A Court has no power to ignore that provision to relieve what it
considers a distress resulting from its operation.” The statutory provision
may cause hardship or inconvenience to a particular party but the court has
no choice but to enforce it giving full effect to the same. The legal maxim
dura lex sed lex which means “the law is hard but it is the law”, stands
attracted in such a situation. It has consistently been held that,
“inconvenience is not” a decisive factor to be considered while interpreting a
statute.”

36. The Hon‟ble Supreme Court of India while dealing with an

application to condone the delay of 916 days caused in preferring an appeal in

case of University of Delhi vs. Union of India (UOI) and others12 held as

hereunder:

“20. From a consideration of the view taken by this Court through the
decisions cited supra the position is clear that, by and large, a liberal
approach is to be taken in the matter of condonation of delay. The
consideration for condonation of delay would not depend on the status of
the party namely the Government or the public bodies so as to apply a
different yardstick but the ultimate consideration should be to render even
handed justice to the parties. Even in such case the condonation of long
delay should not be automatic since the accrued right or the adverse
consequence to the opposite party is also to be kept in perspective. In that
background while considering condonation of delay, the routine
explanation would not be enough but it should be in the nature of indicating
“sufficient cause” to justify the delay which will depend on the backdrop of
each case and will have to be weighed carefully by the Courts based on
the fact situation. In the case of Katiji (Supra) the entire conspectus relating
to condonation of delay has been kept in focus. However, what cannot also
be lost sight is that the consideration therein was in the background of
dismissal of the application seeking condonation of delay in a case where

12
2020(1) ALT 230
27

there was delay of four days pitted against the consideration that was
required to be made on merits regarding the upward revision of
compensation amounting to 800 per cent.

21. As against the same, the delay in the instant facts in filing the LPA is
916 days and as such the consideration to condone can be made only if
there is reasonable explanation and the condonation cannot be merely
because the appellant is public body. The entire explanation noticed
above, depicts the casual approach unmindful of the law of limitation
despite being aware of the position of law.”

37. In Union of India and Another Vs. Jahangir Byramji

Jeejeebhoy (D) through His Lrs..13 Hon‟ble Apex Court has while referring to

the cases of locus classicus like Postmaster General v. Living Media India

Limited.14, vide para 30 and Esha Bhattacharjee v. Raghunathpur Nafar

Academy [cited 4 supra], vide para 33, finally held that delay should not be

excused as a matter /of generosity and rendering substantial justice is not to

cause prejudice to the opposite party and the parties seeking delay

condonation have to prove that they are reasonably diligent in prosecuting the

matter and it is the vital test for condoning the delay.

38. In the light of the law laid down by the Hon‟ble Apex Court in

Delhi Development Authority‘s case (1supra) and for the reasons stated

above, in our considered view, the petitioners failed to establish “sufficient

cause” for condonation of such huge delay. Thus, this Court is inclined to

dismiss all the Interlocutory Applications filed along with W.A.No.111 of 2025

and batch.
