    Summary The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed the appellant's (Agriculture Marketing Board) arbitration appeal and rejected its application for condonation of delay. The court held that the 110-day delay in filing the appeal beyond the 60-day statutory limit under Section 13(1A) of the Commercial Courts Act was unjustified, as the appellant provided only vague procedural explanations (seeking legal opinion and obtaining certified copies) without sufficient cause. Following Supreme Court precedent in *Borse Brothers*, the court emphasized that delay condonation in commercial disputes is an exception, not a rule, and requires bona fide conduct without negligence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
