REV NO 19593 OF 2024 PETER CHACHA VRS PATH

The applicant failed to adduce sufficient reasons for the delay of 115 days in filing the application. Psychological disturbance was not proved by medical evidence, searching for legal assistance was not substantiated, and the right to be heard was not denied. The delay was inordinate and not accounted for as required by law. The CMA's decision to deny condonation was proper and is upheld.
