The delay  sought to be condoned is of 243 days.  In the affidavit filed in support of the complainant by the Assistant Engineer it is mentioned that he forwarded the order to the chief office in June 2009.  The chief office forwarded the same to the legal section in August 2009.  The chief office give sanction to file appeal and the order was communicated on 10/2/2010.  The delay was caused on account of pressure of work and administrative grounds and the time taken for getting sanction.
