    Summary: The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir dismissed the Union Territory's application seeking condonation of a 2802-day delay in filing an intra-court appeal against a December 14, 2017 judgment. The court found the explanation inadequate—mere bureaucratic processing and obtaining legal sanction were insufficient justification for the 7+ year delay, particularly since appellants showed no activity until 2025. The court noted no credible cause existed to condone such an excessive delay and accordingly dismissed both the condonation application and the underlying appeal (LPA 253/2025). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
