CM No. 9189-CII of 2008 and FAO No. 1432 of 2008 Present: Mr. Vikram Aggarwal, Advocate for the applicant/appellant -.- The applicant seeks condonation of inordinate delay of 1216 days in filing the appeal. The grounds for condonation of delay are indicated in paragraph 4 of the application, which are reproduced hereunder:- “That the learned Additional District Judge, Amritsar observed while deciding issue No.2 that the respondent No.1 has failed to prove on record that appellant and respondent No. 3 stood guarantor for repayment of loan in favour of Corporation and accordingly the learned Additional District Judge, Amritsar has decided this issue against the corporation and in favour of respondents. For a long time, the appellant was under the impression that the learned Additional District Judge, Amritsar has decided the issue No.2 in his favour and no liability as guarantor for repayment of loan has been fixed upon both the guarantors. In view of this finding of the learned Additional District Judge, Amritsar, the appellant did not file any appeal but when he came to know about the real fact that his liability for repayment of loan to the corporations still exists then he decided to file an appeal. Therefore, when the appellant decided to file an appeal, he was out of sufficient funds. As a result of the same, the applicant/appellant took some time to first take a decision as to whether they should file an appeal or not because the applicant/appellant was not in a condition to arrange for any finances whatsoever to file the appeal. In the entire process, a delay of 1216 days has occurred in filing the appeal.” Reading of the para itself demonstrates that the applicant was not vigilant at all and such inordinate delay has been caused due to the negligence of applicant. It is the duty of the party also to follow his/her case. There is absolutely no ground whatsoever for condonation of delay. In the absence of there being any details, the grounds urged in paragraph 4 of the present CM No. 9189-CII of 2008 in FAO No. 1432 of 2008 -2- application cannot be taken note of. In view of the above, present application for condonation of delay of 1216 days in filing the appeal is dismissed. In view of the dismissal of the application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal, the main appeal is also dismissed. 9.5.2008 (PERMOD KOHLI) mk JUDGE
