Disposal
DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The application for condonation of delay was dismissed as the appeal was filed within time.

Summary

The appellant filed a civil application seeking condonation of delay in filing a Family Court appeal, alleging the appeal was filed late. The court examined the office remark, which indicated that the appeal had actually been filed within the prescribed time limit. Consequently, the court found no basis for condonation. The application for condonation of delay was therefore dismissed. The court issued a notice to the respondents, with a return date set for September 30, 2026, and the respondent's counsel waived service of notice. The record of proceedings was then called.

Issues considered

  • Whether the Family Court appeal was filed within the time limit and thus requires condonation of delay

Subjects

  • Family Court appeal
  • condonation of delay
  • Civil Procedure Code
  • timeliness of appeal
  • court application
