NO.2695/2008 Counsel for applicant absent. This is an application for condonation of delay in filing application for restoration of Writ Petition No.1421/1992, which was dismissed in default. The writ petition relates to restoration of land and the same was admitted, but when it was called out for final hearing, learned counsel for the applicant/petitioner absent and hence the same was dismissed in default. Having gone through the application and having heard Mr.Tidke, learned counsel for respondent and A. G. P., I am satisfied that good 2 and sufficient reasons exist for condoning the delay in filing application for restoration. The writ petition was of the year 1992 relating to important civil rights of the parties and the same was admitted. The cause of justice cannot be frustrated by not condoning the delay and not hearing the writ petition on merits. Hence, the civil application is allowed. Delay is condoned. M.C.A. (ST) NO.21006/2007 Learned counsel for the applicant/ petitioner is absent. Writ petition being of the year 1992, which was admitted for final hearing was dismissed in default. Important civil rights of the parties are required to be decided on merits in the writ petition. Hence, the writ petition is restored to file. Put up Writ Petition No.142/1992 for final hearing on 21/07/2008 at Sr. No.1. Counsel for petitioner to take note of the date and make appearance for the petitioner. Miscellaneous civil application disposed of. JUDGE gsk
