This Writ Petition has been filed challenging the impugned order, dated 23.01.2026 passed by the 1st respondent, rejecting the petitioner’s appeal, dated 08.10.2025 on the ground that the appeal was filed belatedly beyond the prescribed time limit and no sufficient cause was shown by the petitioner for the said delay.
