JUSTICE D K SINGH) The present appeal has been filed impugning the judgment and order dated 21.03.2016 passed by the - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010106442018 NC: 2026:KHC:49802-DB WA No. 1618 of 2018 learned Single Judge in W.P.No.2964/2014. This appeal has been filed with extra-inordinate delay and laches of 772 days. The affidavit filed in support of the application seeking condonation of delay does not pass the muster of reasonable and bonafide explanation in filing the appeal with such an extra inordinate delay. We, therefore, find no reason to condone the delay. Therefore, we dismiss the application seeking condonation of delay. Consequently, appeal stands dismissed.
