Learned counsel for the petitioners, at this stage, submitted that there may be delay in filing the appeal before the appropriate authority and, therefore, the appropriate authority may be directed that without considering the point of limitation, the appeal be admitted. The remedy which the learned counsel is seeking is available to the petitioner under section 14 and by filing delay application, the petitioner can explain that he was bonafidely prosecuting the remedy : 2 : before the wrong forum and, therefore, the delay has occurred in filing the appeal. If the appropriate authority feels that it was a bonafide mistake on the part of the petitioner, it can condone the delay. Since the remedy under section 14 is available to the petitioner, we do not wish to indulge into the point of limitation at this stage. 3.
