The Court condoned the delay and allowed the restoration of the pending applications.
Summary
The High Court of Gujarat entertained a series of condonation of delay applications filed by Khant Ashok Hirabhai and others seeking restoration of pending civil matters against the State of Gujarat. The applicants argued that the delay in filing restoration applications was justified and requested the Court to condone the lapse. The Court examined the averments in the applications and found no substantive impediment to granting relief. Consequently, the Court condoned the delay and ordered that the restoration applications be allowed. It further directed that the main matters be restored to their original condition and that any office objections be removed within a week, failing which the proceedings would be dismissed for default. The order was signed by Justice J.C. Doshi and digitally authenticated by the Principal Private Secretary of the High Court.
Issues considered
- Whether the delay in filing restoration applications can be condoned under the Civil Procedure Code
- Whether the pending civil matters can be restored to their original status
