After receiving the opinion, the department appointed an Executive Engineer, PHED, District Rural Division, Ajmer, as officer- in-charge for filing of the appeal. The appeal was prepared after the officer-in-charge contacted the office. The application does not [2025:RJ-JP:44081-DB] (2 of 2) [CMA-306/2024] mention that despite the opinion having been received from the Government Counsel for filing of appeal, why the appeal was not filed within time. 3. Considering the immense delay of 385 days, we do not find it a fit case for condonation of delay. 4. Accordingly, the application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal is dismissed.
