Days taken from the date of the judgment 183 days B. Permissible Time for Appeal 30 days C. Time taken in obtaining Certified copy 4 days Actual delay in filing the Appeal [A – (B)]: 153 days [4] Therefore, captioned MC is one seeking condonation of 153 days delay in filing an intra court appeal. [5] The reasons buttressing the CoD prayer primarily turn on time consumed in the process of preferring an appeal owing to procedural requirement qua state machinery. [6] In the light of the reasons, respondents’ counsel fairly submitted that the CoD prayer is not opposed. This means that we would not dilate more either on the reasons or on any other aspect of the matter. [7] Sequitur is, captioned MC ordered as prayed for. Delay condoned. There shall be no order as to costs. JUDGE CHIEF JUSTICE Sushil
