Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition against the Rajasthan High Court's order rejecting the application for restoration of a writ appeal due to lack of sufficient cause for condoning the delay in filing. The Court upheld the High Court's findings that the petitioner failed to comply with directions to rectify defects in the appeal, emphasizing the importance of procedural compliance. The decision reinforces the principle that restoration applications must demonstrate adequate justification for delays, particularly in labor disputes.
