Court No. - 6 Case :- WRIT - B No. - 525 of 1976 Petitioner :- Data Ram Respondent :- D.D.C. & Others Counsel for Petitioner :- G.C. Gahrana,Kartikeya Saran,Satya Prakash,Shagun K. Saran Counsel for Respondent :- Shrish Prasad,Anoop Kumar Mishra,S.C. Hon'ble B. Amit Sthalekar,J. Civil Misc. Restoration Application dated 25.08.2015 alongwith Delay Condonation Application taken up. Heard Sri A.K. Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner on the application and the learned Standing Counsel for the State-Respondents. This application has been filed for recall of the order dated 26.08.2009 by which the petition was dismissed for want of prosecution. The application is time barred by six years. The explanation for delay is that when the petitioner went to the chamber of his previous counsel Sri G.C. Gahrana in May, 2015 he came to know that Sri G.C. Gahrana had expired and thereafter, he engaged the present counsel and filed the restoration application. The order of the Court dismissing the petition for want of prosecution is of 26.08.2009. The petitioner tried to contact to his previous counsel only in May, 2015 as per the averment of paragraph 12 of the affidavit filed in support of the restoration application as well as the delay condonation application. This means that for nearly six years the petitioner was not in touch with his previous counsel Sri G.C. Gahrana and had not bothered to contact him. For reasons aforesaid, I do not find any good ground for condoning the delay in filing the restoration application. The delay condonation application is accordingly rejected and the restoration application is rejected as time barred. Order Date :- 19.12.2017 N Tiwari
