The affidavit filed does not show that petitioner was under the treatment of any particular doctor or Ayurvedic physician. When respondent disputed the ground alleged petitioner produced a certificate obtained from an Ayurvedic Physician in June 2008 stating that from December 2000 to May 2001 petitioner was advised to take rest and also avoid journeys, consequent to the treatment for spondylitis and back pain. Learned counsel appearing for respondent pointed out that the said certificate was obtained from an Ayurvedic physician at Ernakulam and what is stated in the petition is that he cannot travel to a distance of 80 Kms and if petitioner could travel to Ernakulam he could definitely travel to take steps to file revision and in such CMP 2606/02 IN CRP+1003/02 2 circumstances there is no sufficient reason to condone the delay. There is sufficient force in the submission. Still in the interest of justice delay will stand condoned on the petitioner paying or depositing the cost of Rs.1,000/- within three weeks from today failing which this petition will stand dismissed.
