Heard. This application is for bringing legal heirs on record of deceased Respondent No.1 Hindurao Ramu Bhosale who died on 04/09/2009. 2.

The learned counsel for the Applicant submits that he received letter dated 04/02/2014 from the Advocate for Respondent stating that the Respondent No.1 expired in 2009. At that time, the Applicant learnt that the Respondent No.1 expired. Hence, there is delay in making the Civil Application. The learned counsel for the Applicant submits that they have good chance of success in the matter. He submits that in the interest of justice, this Hon'ble Court be pleased to condone 1/3

the delay in filing the Civil Application and allow the Applicant to bring on record the legal heirs of deceased Respondent No.1. He submits that if delay is not condoned, irreparable loss will cause to them.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the Applicant, the averments made in the Application and the no-objection given by the advocate for legal heirs of Respondent No.1, I am satisfied that the Applicant has made out a case for allowing the present Civil Application. 5.
