Dalwinder Singh and others .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.R.K.Goyal, Advocate for Mr.A.R.Takkar, Advocate for the applicant-appellants. ..... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) C.M.Nos.13807-08-C of 2010 Both the applications have been filed for condonation of delay of 78 days in filing and 330 days in refiling the present regular second appeal, i.e., total delay of 408 days. As per own version of applicants- appellants, the appeal was decided by learned appellate Court on 6.4.2009. Copy of judgment was applied on 7.4.2009, which was prepared just after three days, i.e., on 10.4.2009 and delivered on 17.4.2009 and despite that the present appeal was not filed within limitation. However, when the appeal was filed before this Court it was discovered that some pages were missing from Annexures A1 and A2. Applicants-appellants had taken another 330 days in refiling the appeal. Hence, there is total laxity and gross negligence on the part of officials of applicants-appellants in not filing the appeal within prescribed period of limitation. C.M.Nos.13807-08-C of 2010 in RSA No.4654 of 2010(O&M) -2- In view of these facts, what to talk of sufficient ground, no ground whatsoever is made for condoning the inordinate delay of 408 days in filing and refiling the present appeal. Hence, both the applications for condoning the delay of 78 days in filing and 330 days in refiling the present appeal are without any merit and the same are dismissed. RSA No.4654 of 2010 The present appeal is dismissed as having not been filed and refiled within prescribed period of limitation. 7.7.2011 ` (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
