He also filed I.A.No.607 of 2006 to condone the delay of 17 days in filing the application for setting aside the ex-parte decree. Both the applications were dismissed for default on 2.6.2006. The petitioner filed I.A.Nos.1021 of 2006 and 1022 of 2006 to restore I.A.Nos.606 of 2006 and 607 of 2006. The applications for restoration were dismissed by the order dated 21st August 2006 which are under challenge in the Writ Petition filed on 24.2.2009. Why the orders dated 21st August 2006 were not challenged for about three years is not explained. There is no explanation for the delay. I am not inclined to entertain the Writ Petition.
