-1- Civil Revision No.8356 of 2010 (O&M). IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ... Date of Decision: January 25, 2011. Civil Revision No.8356 of 2010 (O&M). Mohan Lal and others ... Petitioners. VERSUS Balbir Singh and others ... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHINDER PAL. 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? Present: Mr. Tribhawan Singla, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- MOHINDER PAL, J. The petitioners are aggrieved against the order dated 16.7.2010 passed by the Additional District Judge, Barnala, whereby the application filed by the petitioners for condonation of delay of about two years and seven months in filing appeal against the judgment and decree dated 18.5.2007 passed by -2- Civil Revision No.8356 of 2010 (O&M). the trial Court was dismissed. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and perusing the impugned order, I do not see any reason warranting interference in the impugned order passed by the lower appellate Court. The judgment and decree against which the petitioners had went in appeal before the lower appellate Court are dated 18.5.2007. The petitioners applied for certified copies of the said judgment and decree on 21.12.2009. It cannot be said that the petitioners were not aware about the judgment and decree passed by the trial Court on 18.5.2007 as one of the petitioners, namely, Karam Chand had appeared and got recorded his statement before the lower appellate Court in Civil Appeal No.86 of 24.8.2006 decided on 11.12.2008 and in that appeal also the copy of the judgment and decree dated 18.5.2007 had been produced as Exhibit A.1. Under the circumstances, the lower appellate Court was justified in dismissing the application of the petitioners for condonation of delay of about two years and seven months as the petitioners failed to explain the delay satisfactorily. Consequently, this revision petition is hereby dismissed being without any merit. ( MOHINDER PAL ) January 25, 2011. JUDGE ak
