Briefing Standing Counsel, Obtaining Approvals From Officials Not 'Sufficient Cause' For Condoning Delay In Filing Appeal: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ruled on the issue of government delays in filing appeals and obtaining necessary approvals. The case involved a delay caused by the government's failure to timely obtain permissions from various officials for filing an appeal. The court found that such delays were unreasonable and could not be justified, emphasizing the importance of prompt and efficient legal procedures. The ruling reiterated the principle that delays caused by administrative inefficiencies should not hinder the judicial process.
