Holding
The Court condoned the seven‑day delay and restored the writ petition to its original stage.
Summary
The applicant, Asadullakhan Mohammadkhan Pathan, filed Civil Application No. 5499 of 2026 seeking relief in a writ petition originally filed as WP/6796/2011. The application was filed 7 days after the prescribed period, raising the question of whether such delay could be condoned. The High Court examined the principles governing condonation of delay in civil applications and the discretion of the court to restore a writ petition to its original stage. Relying on established procedural law, the Court held that the 7‑day delay was reasonable and could be excused. Consequently, the Court allowed the application, condoned the delay, and restored the writ petition to its original stage.

- Whether a delay of seven days in filing a civil application can be condoned?
