    DA-44-25-04/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

    Applicant failed to demonstrate sufficient and reasonable grounds to justify the exercise of judicial discretion under Section 310 CPC: the approximately two‑month delay was inadequately explained and amounted to afterthought; ignorance of law and absence of counsel do not excuse the delay given prison procedures to facilitate appeals; proposed appeal lacked merit given applicant's guilty plea to repeated rape of his biological child; therefore extension of time denied.
