Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD HUSSAIN VS The MANAGER EMPLOYEES SETTLEMENTS, H.R. SERVICES S.5---Condonation of delay---Sufficient cause---Scope---While considering condonation of delay ultimate consideration should be to render even-handed justice to the parties, though by and large, liberal approach is to be taken in the matter of condoning delay---Such consideration would not depend upon status of the party namely the Government or the public or private bodies so as to apply a different yardstick---Even in such cases the condonation of long delay should not be automatic since the accrued right or adverse consequences to the opposite party is to be kept in perspective---In that background, while considering condonation of delay, the routine explanation would not be enough but it should be in the nature of indicating "sufficient cause" to justify the delay which will depend on the backdrop of each case and will have to be weighed carefully by the court based on the fact situation.
