This restoration application is barred by limitation. A Limitation Petition under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, being I.A.

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and having considered the averments made in the limitation petition as well as in the reply to the limitation petition filed by the opposite parties, we are of the opinion that sufficient cause has been shown for the delay in preferring the restoration application within time. The limitation petition ( I.A. No. 3074/2007) is allowed. For the reasons stated in the restoration application, the application is allowed. Accordingly, LPA No. 313/1998, which was dismissed for non prosecution, is restored to its original file and number. dk ( Barin Ghosh, J. ) ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J. )
