(1.) The instant intra-court appeal, under clause 10 of the Letters Patent, is directed against the order/judgment dtd. 22/9/2022 passed by learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P. (S) No. 5489 of 2016 by which the writ petition has been allowed.
(2.) The instant appeal is admittedly barred by limitation since as per the office note dtd. 2/12/2023, there is delay of 404 days in preferring the appeal, therefore, an application being I.A. No. 3062 of 2024 has been filed for condoning such delay.
(3.) This Court, after taking into consideration the fact that the instant intra-court appeal has been field after inordinate delay of 404 days, deems it fit and proper, to first consider the delay condonation application before going into the legality and propriety of the impugned order on merit.
