When a High Court dismisses a writ appeal solely on the ground of inordinate delay without examining the matter on merits, such dismissal is liable to be set aside, and the appellate court is duty-bound to adjudicate the substantive issues raised. The condonation of delay is a procedural remedy that ought not to foreclose merits-based adjudication where sufficient cause exists.
