- Decided

- HARVIR SINGH
Holding
The court dismissed both the exemption application and the delay condonation application, holding that the revisionist's unreasonable conduct and failure to comply warranted denial of relief.
Summary
Rameshchandra filed a criminal revision before the Allahabad High Court challenging orders dated 5 September 2023 and 5 August 2024 passed by the Additional Principal Judge of the Family Court, Jaunpur. He also sought exemption to file a certified copy of those orders. The court observed that the revisionist repeatedly failed to appear, leading to ex‑parte orders against him, and that his conduct was unreasonable and deliberate. Consequently, the exemption application was dismissed and he was directed to file the certified copy of the orders. The revisionist did not comply with the court’s direction dated 11 September 2025, and his delay condonation application was therefore dismissed. No further order on the revision was required.
Issues considered
- Whether the exemption application for filing a certified copy of the impugned orders should be granted.
- Whether the delay condonation application should be allowed in view of the revisionist's failure to appear and comply with court orders.
- Whether ex‑parte orders passed due to non‑appearance can be set aside.
Subjects
- criminal revision
- delay condonation
- exemption application
- ex‑parte order
