It is not the case of respondents that the committee has no power to condone the delay which occurred in filing Appeal by an employee. This order is set aside. The petitioner is free to file an application for condonation of delay giving therein the grounds for condonation of the same and the Samiti to consider that application in the light of the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court wherein it is held that in such matters, liberal approach is to be made more so, when the employee has a good case on merits. With these directions Rule and special civil application stand disposed of. No order as to costs. ....... (sunil)
