The High Court exercised its discretion under section 310 CPC to grant a limited extension because the delay was minimal (application filed roughly one week after expiry), the prosecution acted promptly upon discovering the omission, there was arguable merit in pursuing the appeal, and no prejudice to the respondent would result; granting the extension was necessary to achieve substantial justice.
