A party seeking condonation of delay in filing appeal beyond the period of limitation must satisfy the court that there was sufficient cause for not preferring the appeal within the period of limitation. In that regard, much differentiation would not be made between the Govt. or a private party. Considering the variety of activities, Govt. is engaged and the ultimate sufferer on account of dismissal of appeal being the public, there may be difference of degree of proof required by the government and the private party to establish sufficient cause but that would not or cannot relieve the government from alleging and proving sufficient cause for delay. The Govt. is not required to give reasons and proving for each day's delay but has to allege and prove overall cause for the entire period. The Govt. cannot get over the delay simply because it is Govt. bonafide steps taken by the officer of the Govt. in filing the appeal is if stalled by the procedural rigmarole, inter-departmental wrangling or time taken for decision making would constitute a sufficient cause for condonation of delay. But if there is utter lack of sense of responsibility, dereliction of duty, failure to decide priorities and deliberate inaction on the part of the government servant, procedural delays could not be ground for condonation of delay. In such a case, Govt. would be well advised to take proper steps against the erring officer but that would not constitute a sufficient cause. In the present case, there is complete lack of material particulars as to why the delay has been caused. A bald statement that there was delay in granting sanction would not constitute a ground for condonation of delay." 18- 1998 ,vkbZvkj ,llh ist 227 ih-ds- jkepUnzu cuke dsjy jkT; ds ekeys esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; us izfrikfnr fd;k gS fd& "Law of limitation may harshly affect a particular party but it has to be applied with all its rigour when the statute so prescribe and the Courts have no power to extend the period of limitation on equitable grounds.

Though the condonation of delay is a matter of discretion of the court but Section 5 of the Limitation Act does not say that such discretion can be stretched too for so as to condone any length of time. There has to be rationale criterion as regards exception to the explanation seeking condonation of delay. In some cases, the delay of shortest range may be uncondonable due to a want of acceptable explanation whereas in certain other cases, delay of a very long range can be condoned provided the explanation thereof is satisfactory. The words "sufficient cause" under Section 5 of the Limitation Act should receive a liberal construction so as to advance substantial justice, but it does not mean to infer that the delay should be condoned in each and every case unless discretion exercised by the court is on untenable grounds or is arbitrary or perverse and in that eventuality, it would be a different matter. While condoning the delay in such cases, the Apex Court has further taken the view that the Court should not forget valuable rights which have accrued to the opposite party altogether.
