a “sufficient cause” for condonation of delay is correct or not, we are of the prima facie view that the reasoning given by the trial court as well as the High Court for condoning such an inordinate delay will not come under the ambit of “sufficient cause” as has been delineated by this Court in a catena of judgments. 13. We find that the order of the trial court as well as the High Court are not sustainable in law. The appeal is therefore allowed. The judgment dated 14th December 2022, passed by the High Court in Civil Revision Application No. 269 of 2022, and the order dated 4th May 2022, passed by the trial court in Civil Misc. Application No. 1473 of 2021 are quashed and set aside. 14. However, we clarify that the application filed by respondents No.2 and 3 being MCA No. 1082 of 2019 would be considered by the trial court on its own merits in accordance with law. 1015. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. No costs. …….........................J. [B.R. GAVAI]
