    Case Summary: Satheesan K v. VRL Logistics Ltd (I.A. No.1/2023 in A.S. No.120/2023) The District Court dismissed Satheesan K's petition seeking to condone a 2016-day delay in filing an appeal against a 2019 trial court judgment. The court found that Satheesan's explanation—that he had entrusted his counsel Adv. Reji Chacko with filing the appeal in March 2019, remained unaware of the advocate's death in 2021, and only discovered the unfiled appeal in 2023—was improbable and untrustworthy. The court held that a prudent litigant would naturally inquire about the appeal number within a reasonable timeframe, and Satheesan's failure to do so for nearly four years demonstrated wilful negligence and lack of bona fides, warranting dismissal under the stringent standard applicable to inordinate delays.
