The proof of a sufficient cause is a condition precedent for the exercise of the discretionary jurisdiction vested in the Court by Section 5. If sufficient cause is not proved nothing further has to be done; the application for condoning delay has to be dismissed on that ground alone. If sufficient cause is shown then the Court has to enquire whether in its discretion it should condone the delay. This aspect of the matter naturally introduces the consideration of all relevant facts and it is at this stage that diligence of the party or its bona fides may fall for consideration; but the scope of the enquiry while exercising the discretionary power after sufficient cause is shown would naturally be limited only to such facts as the Court may regard as relevant.\u201d<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Burden of showing delay is on whom?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coram stated that the burden is on the applicant to show that there was sufficient cause for the delay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the Supreme Court decision of <em>Anshul Aggarwal v.
