1. Present Letters Patent Appeal has been preferred by the Appellants (Original Respondents) against the order dated 25.02.2019, passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C) No.1743/2019 (Annexure A-1 to the memo of this appeal). There is a delay of 921 days in preferring the appeal and, thus, C.M. No. 36997/2021 has been preferred seeking condonation of delay.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the Appellants submits that the delay of 921 days in preferring the appeal is mainly for the reason that in a similar matter related to Annual IEIS Scheme, the issue was already under litigation with regard to correct interpretation of Notification dated 25.09.2013 whereby amendments were made in the Foreign Trade Policy 2009-2014. The Division Bench of this Court had passed an order on 12.04.2018 in W.P.(C) 5082/2017 in the case of M/s. Welldone Exim and Respondents had thereafter filed SLP(C) No.012878
