DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2008 P.C.:- The Writ Petition was dismissed on 23rd June, 2004. The learned counsel, who appeared on behalf of the petitioner, had submitted that he had returned the papers to the petitioner on 1st January, 2003, and he had withdrawn his appearance. He had given instructions to her to take care of the litigation. On 23rd June, 2004, none had appeared for the petitioner. Therefore, the petition was dismissed. 2. The application for restoration has been filed after four years, and the applicant prays that the delay of four years be condoned on the 2 ground that she was living in the United States of America, and she could not take steps to instruct her lawyer. 3. We do not find these reasons to be reasonable for condoning the delay of four years. The application is misconceived, and is accordingly dismissed. BILAL NAZKI, J. J.H. BHATIA, J.
