IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA SA No.645 of 1991 SHRI AHIR AND ORS. Versus JAMUNA SINGH YADAV ----------- 14/ 20.03.2009 Although against the judgment and decree dated 09.09.1991, the instant second appeal has been filed within time on 9.12.1991, but the certified copy of the decree, which was under challenge in the instant second appeal, was filed much belatedly on 22.04.1992 and hence there was a long delay. An interlocutory application dated 08.11.1993 has been filed under the provision of section 5 of the Limitation Act for condoning the said delay. On the last occasion, no one appeared in the case. Today also, no one appears on behalf of the appellants to press the said interlocutory application. From the aforesaid interlocutory application, it transpires that no valid or reliable ground could be shown, due to which the said delay could have occurred and, accordingly, the same is dismissed. Since the interlocutory application for condoning the delay has been dismissed as aforesaid, this second appeal is time barred and is, accordingly, dismissed as such. MPS/ ( S. N. Hussain, J. )
