ELIGIUS MUTASHOBYA BAGENYI VS CHIEF SECRETARY

The applicant failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for the delay, did not account for all days of delay, and did not establish that the ruling and drawn order were necessary prerequisites for filing the application for judicial review. The law does not require attachment of the ruling or drawn order, and the applicant's inaction and negligence do not justify extension of time.
