Consequent on the dismissal of the application for condonation of delay, the appeal must have been dismissed. The remedy of the revision petitioners is to file a Second Appeal against the judgment of the Appellate Court. Therefore, the Civil Revision Petition is closed leaving open the remedy of the revision petitioners to file a Second Appeal against the judgment in A.S.No.144 of 2000. The Civil Revision Petition was pending from 6.9.2002 to 19.12.2007. The petitioners were bona fide litigating before this Court under the impression that the remedy is a Civil Revision Petition against the order rejecting the application for condonation of delay. Therefore, while computing the period of limitation for filing the Second Appeal, the period from 6.9.2002 to 19.12.2007 shall be excluded.
