(1.) The instant intra-court appeal, under clause 10 of the Letters Patent, is directed against the order/judgment dtd. 13/12/2022 passed by learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P. (S) No. 4918 of 2017 by which the writ petition has been dismissed.
(2.) The instant appeal is admittedly barred by limitation since there is delay of 219 days in preferring the appeal, therefore, an application being I.A. No. 7710 of 2023 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 219 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.
