The Supreme Court in Collector Land Acquisition, Anantnag v. Katiji, AIR 1987 SC 1353 laid down the:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Katiji explains how courts should assess sufficient cause under section 5 when an appeal is delayed. It favours a practical approach to doing justice, without presuming that delay was deliberate. The case does not lay down the statutory requirements for an acknowledgment under section 18.
Current law: The decision remains relevant; condonation still requires a supported sufficient cause, rather than automatic relief in every delayed case.
