JINDAL, J (ORAL) This petition assails the order dated 04.06.2010 (Annexure P-1) passed by the learned District Judge, Kapurthala, whereby the appeal filed by the appellant-petitioner (hereinafter referred to as 'the petitioner'), was dismissed. Counsel for the respondent Nos.3 to 5 has stated that two suits were filed, one by the petitioner and the other by the respondent Nos. 3 and 4. The trial Court had dismissed the suit filed by respondent Nos. 3 and 4 and their appeal was also dismissed. They have challenged the said judgment in regular second appeal before this Court. Similarly, the suit of the petitioner was also dismissed by the trial Court. However, the appeal filed by the petitioner has been dismissed by the appellate Civil Revision No. 4679 of 2010 2 Court on the ground of limitation. There is delay of only four days in filing of the appeal. Counsel for the parties do not object if the delay is condoned and the appeal is decided by the District Judge/appellate Court on merits. In view of this, without devolving deep into the matter, this petition is accepted, the impugned order is set aside and the delay in filing of the appeal stands condoned. Learned District Judge, Kapurthala, is directed to proceed in accordance with law and decide the appeal on merits. Parties are directed to appear before learned District Judge, Kapurthala, on 11.05.2011. (A.N.JINDAL) 23rd of March, 2011 JUDGE ajp
