This is an application for setting aside the order of this Court dated 21.2.2001 by which this Court appointed the Official Liquidator as provisional Liquidator of the -: 2 :- respondent-company. This application was filed on 16.5.2008. There is a delay of almost seven years and three months in filing this application. 2. In paragraph 19 of the affidavit-in-support of the application, the applicants have candidly stated that they were well aware of the order dated 21.2.2001, but they could not file an appeal challenging the order because they were facing many litigations in different Courts of law and they were not guided properly. The affidavit, however, does not point out anything from which it can be inferred that the applicants were helpless as claimed by them. They had availed of the service of an Advocate and they kept on filing applications in the Company Petition. There is no sufficient cause for condoning the delay. 3. The Company Application is, therefore, dismissed. S.A. BOBDE, J.
