STATE OF RAJASTHAN Vs. HANUMANA RAM

JUDGEMENT

(1.) AFTER having heard the learned Government counsel and having perused the material on record, we are unable to find even a wee bit of reason to entertain this grossly belated application for restoration of intra -court appeal, DBSAW No. 5932/2006 DR (J), which was preferred against the order dated 18.04.2006 passed by learned Single Judge of this Court in SBCWP No. 3810/1992; and which came to be dismissed for non -compliance of the requirements of the peremptory order dated 22.09.2008.

(2.) SEEKING restoration of appeal, which was dismissed pursuant to the peremptory order dated 22.09.2008 about 5 years back, this restoration application came to be filed on 02.07.2013. This application is reported to be time -barred by 1671 days. An application seeking condonation of delay has been filed, which does not furnish any reason worth its name for condonation of such an inordinate delay of about 5 years.

(3.) THIS is but apparent that the burden for delay and default is sought to be shifted on the earlier counsel of the appellants without any explanation as to what the Officer Incharge did for all these years and as to why did he not take care about the progress of the appeal.
