Sainik Security vs Sheela Bai And Ors

The Supreme Court allowed the special leave petition against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order dismissing the application for condonation of delay in filing an appeal by 769 days. The Court found sufficient cause for the delay and set aside the High Court's order, restoring the appeal on the condition that the petitioner pays costs of Rs.10,000 to the respondents within three months. Failure to pay the costs would result in the confirmation of the High Court's order and rejection of the condonation application.
