No. 140 of 2008, on which date it stood dismissed for default. Learned counsel for the petitioners presses I.A. No. 6103 of 2009, which is in the nature of condonation application, wherein prayer has been made to condone the delay in filing the present appeal. We are not inclined to condone the delay in filing the appeal. I.A. No. 6103 of 2009 is rejected. It appears on a perusal of the order-sheet of the appeal that the matter was called on 28.7.2008, and, as prayed for by learned counsel for the appellants, it was adjourned for three weeks. It was again adjourned at the instance of learned counsel for the appellants on 20.8.2008 for three weeks. It was again adjourned by order dated 12.9.2008 for two weeks, as prayed for by learned counsel for the 3 appellants. It was again adjourned on 29.9.2008 on the prayer of learned counsel for the appellants. None appeared on behalf of the appellants on 7.11.2008, resulting in dismissal of the appeal. It thus appears to be a gross laches and, negligence on the part of the appellants. We are not inclined to restore the appeal. The present restoration application is accordingly rejected. Vinay/ ( S.
