In the said case, process came to be issued against the petitioners. Being aggrieved thereby, the petitioners preferred Revision before the Sessions Court. As there was delay in preferring the said Revision, Misc. Application No. 1358 of 2009 came to be preferred by the petitioners for condonation of delay. The Learned Sessions Judge observed that there is delay of 79 days in filing the revision, however, the reasons given for condonation of delay were vague and as according to him, the applicants failed to make out any sufficient cause, hence, the learned Sessions Judge rejected the application for condonation of delay by order dated 28th January 2010. Being aggrieved by the said order, this petition has been preferred. 3. In my view, the following order shall meet the ends of justice: O R D E R 1.
