On perusal of the application, it appears that, due to lack of knowledge of legal procedure and want of proper legal advice, the applicant could not approach this Court within the prescribed period. Therefore, the reasons stated in the application appears to be bonafide and justifiable. Hence, the delay of 347 days while lodging the appeal is hereby condoned. 5.
