The State of Rajasthan is impersonal machinery and is officers have no personal interest in the matter nor these are their personal matters and naturally that much of care, caution, precation and pains can be taken by them in the Government matters. In fact and substance substance after having the experience of more than seven years at Bench I am of the opinion that in such matters the State Government has to be taken at par with minor, orphan or disabled or a widow. Therefore, certain amount of latifude is not impermissible. If appeals brought by the State are lost for such default no person in individually affected but what in the ultimate analysis suffers is public interest. The factors which are peculiar to and characteristic of functioning of the Government conditions would be cognizant to and requires adoption of pragmatic approach in justice oriented process. 16. Their Lordships of the Supreme Court in catena of decisions held that in case the matters filed by the State Government are dismissed only on the ground of limitation by the courts then it may result in sufferance of the public cause. The Government is there for the public causes and in such matters where the appeals, revision or reference are not filed within prescribed period of limitation the court or authorities or tribunal while considering the question of condonation of delay may not go by this abstaract theory that the delay is not satisfactorily explained. In the matter where the courts, tribunals or authorities considers the question of condonation of delay in filing of appeal, revision or reference etc. by the State Government, their approach should have been pragmatic and not pendantic. 17. While considering the question of condonation of delay which is there in filing of the revision, appeal or reference by the State Government the court, tribunal or authority has to first consider the merits of the mater and where they are satisfied that there is a good case on merits the rule is to condone the delay. The courts are to decide the matters on merits unless the case is hopelessly without merit. The delay if is not condoned in such matter it would result in public mischief on skilful management of delay in the process of filing the appeal. The courts are to decide the matters on merits unless the case is hopelessly without merit. The delay if is not condoned in such matter it would result in public mischief on skilful management of delay in the process of filing the appeal. By this delay in filing of thematter and rejection thereof on the ground of limitation individually none of the officers of the State Government has to suffer but suffer are the public at large and that is how ultimately it may lead to grave miscarriage of public justice and that makes a distinction and category of the litigant State Government here in these matters to the ordinary litigants. Fruitfully reference may have to two decisions of the Supreme Court in the cases of (1) Special Tehsildar, Land Acquisition, Kerala vs. K.V. Ayisumma (8) and (2) State of Haryana vs. Chandra Mani & Ors. (9).
