UNION OF INDIA & ORS. vs VISVESWARAYA IRON & STEEL LTD.

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed beyond the prescribed period, rejecting the application for condonation of delay. The Court found no sufficient grounds for the delay, noting that the petitioners had ample time to rectify the defect but failed to provide an explanation for the delays at multiple stages. Consequently, the petition was dismissed due to lack of justification for condonation under the relevant procedural rules.
