The said appeal was filed by the petitioners with delay of 166 days. Along with an appeal, an application for condonation of delay was also filed.

2. The State Commission after considering the arguments of the parties dismissed the said application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal. The State Commission had also commented on the merits of the case. However, it held that delay could not be condoned since no reasonable ground for the delay had been made out by the appellants.

3. This order has been impugned before this Commission.

4. It is argued by counsel for the petitioners that delay has been duly explained. It is submitted that it had occurred because before filing of the appeal, the file has to pass through various desks of the petitioners. It is submitted that reasons for the delay has been very well explained in the affidavit of Shivanand V Hooli dated 08.02.2013 which was filed before the State Commissio
