No Sufficient Cause: Rajasthan HC Declines To Condone 'Inordinate Delay' In Filing Appeal By Party Who Made Unsubstantiated Mental Illness

The Rajasthan High Court ruled that delays in filing an appeal against the cancellation of a mining lease can be condoned if sufficient cause is shown.

It underscores the necessity for promptness but also recognizes that reasonable delays may be excused if justified.
