Paragraph 4 of the affidavit which purports to explain the cause of delay runs as below:\n<\/p>\n<p>  That the appellants after receiving a certified copy of the judgment and order dated 4.2.1997. immediately furnished the entire papers in the office of Chief Standing Counsel for preparation of the special appeal and thereafter the special appeal was prepared and the same is being filed before this Hon&#8217;ble Court without any further delay.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 5.
