1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD Civil Application No.7723 of 2009 In W.P.No. 2163/1991. _______________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | _______________________|_______________________________________ 1. The application is for condonation of delay and substitution of the legal representatives of the Respondent No.2 and for setting aside the abatement. 2. There is enormous delay of 3620 days in filing of the application. However, the petitioner is a pardanashin lady and has duly explained the delay. It appears that death of the Respondent No.2 was not communicated by the concerned advocate to the Court. The petitioner had no reasonable source to know about his death. The petitioner's lack of knowledge, her inability being a pardanashin and rustic woman and the absence of any intention to cause the delay are the factors which prompt me to allow the application. 3. In the result, the application is allowed. The delay is condoned. The abatement is set aside. The legal representatives of deceased Respondent No.2 be taken on record as sought. (V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.)
