Civil Application has been taken out by the applicants for restoration of writ petition that was dismissed in default. For the reasons stated in the Misc. Civil Application, the same is allowed. Writ Petition is restored to file. Office to proceed. CIVIL APPLICATION NO.3391/2007 The present civil application is not on board. Taken on board. This is an application for condonation of delay in bringing legal representatives of deceased petitioner No. 2 on record. Heard. The writ petition was admitted by this Court but was not adjudicated on merits because of death of Counsel for petitioners and that fact not being known to the party, delay of about ten years is occurred. I do not think that the matter should go without decision on merits particularly when the writ petition was admitted for final hearing. In view of this, delay of ten years is condoned. Civil Application is allowed. CIVIL APPLICATION NO.4857/2007 3 This an application for bringing legal representatives of deceased petitioner No.2 on record.
