The court rejected the condonation plea citing delays of 1-1.5 years in filing appeals and found no sufficient cause for the delay. The court upheld the Single Judge's direction to count contractual service periods for pension qualification, noting the Supreme Court had previously upheld this principle in the Sheela Devi case (2019).
