Annappa @ Appanna vs Special Land Acquisition Officer

The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal against a Karnataka High Court 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 Court did not address the merits of the case, leaving that for the High Court to decide upon restoration of the appeal.
