GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 5004 OF 2009 (U) ==================== Dated this the 16th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P6, by which, Ext.P4 application made by the petitioners for restoration of Ext.P2 appeal, which was dismissed by Ext.P3 order for default was rejected. 2. Ext.P4, the petition for restoration explains the absence of the petitioners on 5/1/2007 when the appeal was taken up for consideration. However, Ext.P6 order shows that not only that on 5/1/2007 petitioners were absent, but also on 15/9/06, 17/11/2006 and 15/12/2006, they were absent. If that be so, I have no reason to invalidate Ext.P6. 3. However, if the petitioners have any explanation to offer about the absence on the other days, it is up to them to make a fresh application for restoration, in which case, the appellate authority shall deal with the same with notice to others in accordance with law. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
