IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA SA No.287 of 1994 GURUSHARAN PRATAP KUMAR Versus MEENA DEVI & ORS ----------- 05/ 21.05.2009 It transpires that there was a long delay in the filing of the instant second appeal and for condoning the said delay an interlocutory application was filed on 14.07.1994 on behalf of the appellant but the said interlocutory application was dismissed due to non-compliance of peremptory order of this court dated 23.05.1997. It further transpires that on 03.07.1997 another interlocutory application was filed on behalf of the appellant for recall of the aforesaid order of this court dated 23.05.1997 and to hear the limitation application afresh and also for condoning the delay. Although about 12 years have passed, but still when the case was called out no one appears on behalf of the appellant to press the said interlocutory application dated 03.07.1997. Accordingly, the said interlocutory application is dismissed for non-prosecution. Since both the applications under the provisions of Limitation Act have stood dismissed, this second appeal is clearly barred by the law of limitation and is accordingly dismissed. harish/ ( S.N.Hussain, J)
