IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.867 of 2008 SHEO BALAK YADAV Versus UNITED INDIA INSURANCE COMPANY ----------- 3. 04.02.2009 This application has been filed on 10.4.2008 for restoration of M.A. No. 143 of 2004 which was dismissed due to non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 8.7.2005 which directed for depositing of the statutory amount under Section 173 of the M.V. Act and the certified copy of the award under appeal within two weeks with a rider that if it was not complied, the appeal would stand dismissed without further reference to a Bench. The statutory period for filing the restoration application is 30 days. But it is apparent that this restoration application was filed after two years and nine months. Thus, there has been abnormal delay in the filing of this application. The simple ground taken in the application is that the record of the Tribunal was not available due to which the petitioner faced trouble in obtaining the certified copy of the award. But it is not explained how the record could not be available for such a long period. The M.A.143 of 2004 was filed on 12.5.2004 but the orders regarding deposing of statutory amount and filing of certified copy of the award was not complied. The appeal in the filing of this restoration is not also reasonably explained. Under the circumstance, I do not find it a fit case for restoration. Accordingly, this application stands dismissed.
