Holding

The court held that the delay is condoned.

Summary

The petitioners, Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited and others, filed an application before the Gujarat High Court seeking condonation of delay in preferring the main civil matter. The respondents, represented by HCLS Committee and Mr. Jay H. Patel, opposed the application. The court examined whether the delay could be justified under the provisions governing condonation of delay in civil proceedings. Finding no substantive objection and noting the petitioners' averments, the court allowed the application. Consequently, the delay in filing the main matter was formally condoned, and the registry was directed to record Mr. Jay Patel as the respondent's counsel in the appeal.
