DATE : 17th AUGUST, 2023 P.C:- This is an application seeking restoration of the First Appeal which was dismissed for non compliance of the order dated 22nd October, 2019 for failure to file paper-book in the time granted. 2.
Mr.Mehta, learned counsel for the applicant insurance company would submit that there has been delay of 2 years and 214 days.
2/3 Learned counsel draws the attention of this Court to paragraph (3) of the application to explain the delay as well as the failure to file the paper-book. Learned counsel would submit that the paper-book could not be filed as the erstwhile legal team of the applicant inadvertently failed to inform the Trial Court advocate.
3.
Ms.Yadav, learned counsel for the respondent nos. 1 to 5 claimant has no particular objection if the delay is condoned and if the appeal is restored more particularly as the respondents are also seeking to restore their Cross Objection (St) No. 19378 of 2018 which has been dismissed due to non compliance of the conditional order dated 22nd October, 2019. The service to the respondent no.6 has been dispensed with vide order dated 21st June, 2019.
