Hon’ble Mrs. Soma Bhattacharjee, Presiding Member

          Considered, in detail, the Memo. of Appeal, the Delay Condonation Petition and the Written Objection filed by the Respondent.

         There is an inordinate delay of 86 days in filing the Memo. of Appeal. Day to day delay has not been explained in the Memo. of Appeal. There does not appear satisfactory grounds to condone this delay.  Vide an observation of the Hon’ble NCDRC in 11(2014) CPJ 570 (NC) – (Regional Provident Fund Commission vs S Shiva Shankar Rao), the Hon’ble NCDRC held that in the case day to day delay has not been explained, for which delay could not be condoned.

          Accordingly, A/312/2022 is dismissed on grounds of limitation. There shall be no order as to costs.
