R.S.A. No. 3950 of 2008 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R.S.A. No. 3950 of 2008 (O&M) Date of Decision : 19.01.2009 Avtar Singh ....Appellant Versus Jagir Singh ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr. Mukul Aggarwal, Advocate for the appellant. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This appeal has been filed with an application for condonation of delay of 1437 days in re-filing . The only ground that has been disclosed in the application is that an objection had been set up by the Registry pointing out that the appeal was deficient in court fee to the tune of Rs.37/- and, therefore, the delay has occurred. After perusing the application and the contents thereof as also the affidavit which has been filed in support thereof, I am afraid, such an inordinate delay in re-filing the appeal cannot be termed to be bona fide. The appeal had been filed with a deficiency of court fee of merely Rs.37/- which could have been condoned instantly or within a reasonable time. No explanation has been given in the application as to why the appeal was kept in abeyance. No ground to condone the R.S.A. No. 3950 of 2008 (O&M) -2- delay is made out. Consequently, the appeal is dismissed on the point of limitation. 19.1.2009 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
