LATE KAMLABEN NAGINBHAI ROHIT SINCE DECEASED THROUGH LEGAL HEIRSversusTALATI CUM MANTRI

Disposal
36-MCA DISPOSED OF

Holding

The Court allowed the restoration of the dismissed Special Civil Application, condoned the 58‑day delay, and conditioned the restoration on removal of office objections within one week.

Summary

The applicant, Late Kamlaben Naginbhai Rohit (deceased) represented by legal heirs, filed a miscellaneous civil application seeking restoration of Special Civil Application No. 14569 of 2017, which had been dismissed for default due to non‑removal of office objections. The applicant explained a 58‑day delay in filing the restoration request. The Court examined whether such delay could be condoned and whether the dismissed application could be reinstated. Finding the explanation satisfactory, the Court condoned the delay, allowed the draft amendment, and ordered the restoration of the main matter to its original file, subject to removal of the office objections within one week. The application was consequently disposed in the applicant’s favour.

Issues considered

  • Whether a delay of 58 days in filing a restoration application can be condoned under the Civil Procedure Code.
  • Whether a Special Civil Application dismissed for default can be restored on condonation of delay, subject to removal of office objections.
