The applicant had approached the Family Court at Mumbai in Petition No. A-1946 of 1995 and sought divorce on the ground of cruelty and desertion by the wife. By a reasoned order dated 31/3/1999 the learned Principal Judge of the Family Court was pleased to dismiss the said petition. This appeal against the :2: Judgment and Order dated 31/3/1999 is sought to be filed almost after nine years. 3. With the assistance of the learned counsel for the applicant we have gone through the reasons in support of this application for condonation of delay and noted that no reasons, which could be considered by us, have been set out. 4. Hence the application is rejected. 5. We clarify that this order will not come in the way of the applicant-husband from approaching the Family Court afresh if the circumstances so arose. 6. Consequently, the appeal and Civil Application No. 353 of 2008 do not survive and the same shall stand disposed off. (D.G. Karnik,J.) (D.G. Karnik,J.) (D.G. Karnik,J.) (B.H. Marlapalle,J.) (B.H.
