Ordinarily, the delay needs to be condoned after issuing notice to the respondents. However, in the interest of justice, delay is condoned without issuing notice. I am adopting this course as no fruitful purpose will be served by issuing notice to the respondents for the nature of the order I propose to pass in the Appeal. Application disposed of accordingly.
