CORAM: RAVINDRA V. GHUGE, J.

DATE :- 07th August, 2018 Per Court:

Though this matter is shown in the caption of "passing orders", a passover is sought. I am not inclined to grant passover since it is specifically kept for "passing orders".

I have considered the contents of the Civil Application by which, the delay of 23 years and 07 months is sought to be condoned in filing the Civil Revision Application.

The explanation offered in the Civil Application is that the Advocate has not communicated the fate of the litigation to the Applicants. The entire blame is placed upon the Advocate. Besides the said

*2* 905ca8797o16 ground, there is no other convincing reason stated by which, the delay of 23 years and 07 months could be condoned.

The Honourable Supreme Court has laid down the law in a catena of judgments that there must be some end to the litigation. So also, placing blame on the advocates cannot be a sound reason for seeking condonation of delay, more so of an enormous period of 23 years and 07 months.

In view of the above, I do not find that this Civil Application deserves to be entertained. The same is, therefore, rejected. kps (RAVINDRA V. GHUGE, J.)
