Holding

The court condoned the delays and allowed the applications, granting relief to bring the legal heirs on record.

Summary

The petitioners, Narvarbhai Chhedadbhaï Vasav, filed a civil application seeking condonation of delay in preferring the main matter and in filing a second appeal to bring legal heirs on record. The respondents, Bhimjibhai Chhedabhai Vasava, were served with an unserved expired notice. The High Court examined the averments made in the applications and found sufficient cause to condone the delays. Consequently, the court allowed both applications, granting the relief sought for bringing the legal heirs onto the record. The court also directed the petitioner's counsel to make the necessary amendment to the pleadings. No substantive merits of the underlying dispute were addressed, as the order pertained solely to procedural relief.

Issues considered

  • Whether the delay in preferring the main matter can be condoned under procedural law
  • Whether the delay in filing the second appeal for bringing legal heirs on record can be condoned
  • Whether the application for bringing legal heirs should be allowed
