Authority: High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi

Order Date: 07 July 2026

Case Overview

  • Parties: The State of Jharkhand (through Secretary, Road Construction Department and senior engineers) as appellants; Mandeepa Enterprises (proprietorship of Madan Satya Das) as respondent.
  • IA No.9480 of 2025 sought condonation of a 275‑day delay in filing the appeal against the judgment and order dated 8 May 2024 in W.P.(C) No.5591 of 2023. Similar petitions (LPA Nos.386 & 560 of 2025) challenging judgments in W.P.(C) Nos.5604 & 5605 of 2023 were also dismissed.
  • The court noted that the cause of delay was identical to the earlier dismissed IAs and was limited to routine bureaucratic transfers of files between tables and officers.
  • Counsel for the appellants and respondent were listed (Aditya Kumar, Sumeet Gadodia, Shruti Shekhar).

Final Outcome

  • IA No.9480 of 2025 is dismissed without any order for costs.
  • Consequently, the accompanying appeal and any other IAs filed therein are also disposed of and will not survive.
