JUDGMENT :

G.S. Sandhawalia, C.J.

The present Letters Patent Appeal is directed against the order dated 31.03.2023, passed by the learned Single Judge in CWPOA No. 4228 of 2019, titled as, Rajinder Singh & others vs. Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, which is barred by one year, seven months and fourteen days.

2. The lack of sufficient cause made in the application compels us to dismiss the application itself, as apparently, the copy of order was applied on 19.10.2024 and the delay hasoccurred therein and then only shows the conduct of the applicant as such for the delay in contesting the litigation.

3. It has also been mentioned in the application that the copy of the judgment was downloaded from the website of this Court but in spite of that, no efforts as such have been made to apply for the certified copy, though averment is made that on 26.10.2023, the Principal Secretary (Finance), Government of H.P. has advised that same is required to be challenged, which is also after a period of seven months. The limitation being 30 days, as such the delay being inordinate is squarely covered by the principles of law laid down in Postmaster General and
