CMP No. 11577 of 2012 in CWP(T) No. 2323 of 2008. 10.12.2012. Present: Mr. Surinder Sharma counsel for the petitioner- applicant. Mr. Vivek Singh Thakur, Addl. Advocate General & Mr. Rajesh Mandhotra, Dy. A.G. for respondents-State. The original application filed by the petitioner which was transferred to this Court was dismissed in default on 21.2.2011. The averments made by the petitioner is that he was unaware of the fact of the dismissal of his case in default and only came to know about it in the month of October/November, 2011. This is an extremely vague allegation. The petitioner is an educated Government employee. He is a teacher. He would have known the month at least that he had come to know about the dismissal of his case in default. Thereafter, the petitioner did not care to apply for a copy of the order under the normal rules of the Court but applied for copy on 22nd October, 2011 under the Right to information Act, which was supplied to him on 8th November, 2011. The present application for restoration was filed on 29th February, 2012. Then it remained under objection upto 26th July, 2012. There is not a word in the application as to why the application was not filed immediately after the receipt of the copy of the order under the Right to Information Act. A very vague plea has been made that the petitioner was not aware of the limitation prescribed for this purpose. The petitioner was earlier represented by a counsel and he has again engaged a counsel. He is an educated person and there nothing is mentioned in the application to explain what prevented the petitioner from filing the present application well in time. I, therefore, find no merit in the application, which is accordingly rejected. 10th December, 2012 ( Deepak Gupta ) ™ Judge.
