Annappa @ Appanna vs Special Land Acquisition Officer

The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal against the Karnataka High Court's order dismissing an appeal due to a delay of 872 days. The Court condoned the delay on the condition that the appellant deposits Rs.10,000 as costs within four weeks, failing which the High Court's order would be affirmed. The merits of the case were not addressed, and the High Court was directed to decide the appeal on merits within four months if the cost was paid.
