..... Appellants

Versus

Babu Lal and others

..... Respondents

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMENDRA JAIN

PRESENT: Mr. Kulwinder Singh, Advocate for

Ms. Garima Sharma, Advocate for the appellants.

RAMENDRA JAIN, J. (ORAL)

Proxy counsel for the appellants prays for adjournment on

the ground that arguing counsel is in some personal difficulty.

No justification, inasmuch as, instant appeal has been filed

along with an application (CM-15394-CII-2016) under Section 5 of the

Limitation Act, for condonation of inordinate delay of 2245 days. The

plea taken by the appellants in their application that due to poverty they

were not aware of the limitation period and by the time, they approached

their counsel, period of limitation had expired to file appeal.

It is well-settled proposition of law that each day's delay has

to be explained in a mathematical manner which has not been done by the

appellants. No cogent reason or plausible explanation has been furnished

by the applicant-appellants for condonation of such a inordinate delay of

2245 days i
