    Summary of CA 11309/2024 The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed NHAI's application seeking condonation of 833 days' delay in filing an appeal against a 2019 order. NHAI attributed the delay to administrative procedures including obtaining approvals from its regional office and legal consultants. The court rejected these reasons, holding that administrative convenience cannot justify such substantial delay, applying Supreme Court precedent that delays beyond the 90-day appeal period require compelling justification. Consequently, the underlying appeal was also dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
