DODIYA BALVANTBHAI BHAGVANBHAI vs Government of Gujarat Advocate - V G MANDALIYA — 281/2025

Case Summary: 281/2025 Dodiya Balvantbhai Bhagvanbhai v. Government of Gujarat The court rejected the petitioner's plea seeking condonation of delay in filing an appeal against trial court orders. The court found that the petitioner failed to provide adequate reasons for the 8.5-year delay in approaching the appellate authority, had made multiple ineffective attempts before the trial court without persistence, and lacked legal representation or financial justification for the delay. The court held that while principles of liberal condonation exist, they require "sufficient cause"—which was absent here—and dismissed the petition as the petitioner could not demonstrate grounds warranting exception to procedural timelines.
