  Any appeal or any application, other than an application under
  
  any of the provisions of Order XXI of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of
  
  1908) may be admitted after the prescribed period, if the appellant or the
  
  applicant satisfies the court that he had sufficient cause for not preferring
  
  the appeal or making the application within such period.
  Explanation -  The fact that the appellant or the
  
  applicant was misled by any order, practice or judgment of the High Court in
