HARYANA VIDYUT PARSARAN NIGAM Vs. AMAR NATH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE present revision petition has been filed against the order dated 1.9.2005 dismissing the appeal filed by the petitioners herein as time barred.

(2.) THE appeal was filed by the petitioners herein after two years of expiry of the limitation period and the only ground taken for condonation of delay was that the delay has occurred due to procedural arrangements as the defendant- petitioners were to get permission from the authorities and case has to be routed through various departments and, therefore, the delay was bound to occur. Thus, the delay caused was not intentional and, therefore, it deserved be condoned. The learned District Judge dismissed the application by holding that the petitioners did not spell out any fact relevant to the exercise of jurisdiction to condone the delay and, therefore, came to the conclusion that there was no sufficient reason for condoning the delay. Accordingly, the Appellate Court dismissed the appeal being time barred.
