No satisfactory reason explaining the delay is given. The allegation that the applicants were not aware of the death does not obviously appear to be correct because, the certified copy of the death certificate annexed to the Civil Application was obtained on 14th January, 1994 itself. Furthermore, office 2 itself had noted the death in the office report in March, 2003. 2. In the circumstances, Civil Application is rejected. (D.G. (D.G. (D.G.
