The Court :- IA No.GA/5/2026 is an application seeking
condonation of delay of 15 days in making and filing IA No.GA/3/2026. IA
No.GA/3/2026 is an application for restoration of the appeal.
Both the applications are taken up for hearing.
Appellants seek to explain the delay in making and filing the
application for restoration on the ground of time taken by the learned advocate
for preparing and filing the application for restoration as also the fact that the
initial restoration application was found to be defective.
So far as restoration is concerned, again, it is contended on behalf of
the appellants that, the learned advocate who was entrusted on behalf of the
appellants was held up in another Court at the material point of time.
Respondents are represented.
On the principle that, faults, if any, of the advocate for a litigant
should not be foisted upon the litigant, we deem it appropriate to accept the
causes shown as sufficient so far as condonation of delay is concerned.
IA No.GA/5/2026 is, therefore, allowed.
On the very same principle and on the analogy of the same reasoning,
we accept the causes shown for the absence of the appellants. IA
No.GA/3/2026 is, therefore, allowed.
List AD-COM/3/2025 on February 16, 2026.
Court is informed there subsists an interim order Interim order
directs stay upon furnishing of security. Court is informed that the security
stands furnished.
In such circumstances, the interim order, passed earlier, shall
continue till the disposal of the appeal.
