NIDHI GUPTA, J.

CM-12382-CII-2018 This is an application under Section 151 CPC for condonation of delay of 290 days in re-filing the appeal.

The only reason cited in the application for not filing the present appeal within limitation is in Para 2, which reads as follows:-

“2. That the above mentioned appeal was earlier filed on 03.06.2016, but the case was returned with some objections raised by the registry on same date i.e. 03.06.2016. However, the case filed has got mixed up and same was located on yesterday, because it was mixed with some admitted cases. Hence the delay of 290 days has occurred in re-filing the appeal.”

The said averments of the applicant/appellant are vague and general, and do not constitute sufficient cause for condonation of inordinate and extraordinary delay of 290 days in re-filing the present appeal. Pre
