Rajeswari Jayaraman,W/O.Jayaraman, v. The Official Liquidator, High Court, Madras

in CP.No.130 of 1999 M.SUNDAR, J.

Mr.K.Thiruvengadam, learned counsel on record for applicant is before this Court. Learned Deputy Official Liquidator is before this Court on behalf of respondent i.e., the Official Liquidator attached to this Court.

2. Instant application has been filed with a prayer for condonation of 1669 days delay in filing Form 66.

3. The reasons for delay have been articulated in paragraph 3, which reads as follows:

'3. I submit that during white washing my house I misplaced the original receipt. So I could not file my claim in the stipulated time. Only recently I able locate it and immediately filed the claim before the respondent. The respondent has returned my claim stating that it was time barred. The last date for submitting the claim was expired on 30.06.2015. So there is a delay of 1669 days in filing claim application before the respondent. The delay caused is neither willful nor wanton, but due to the reasons stated above. If the 1/3

delay is not condoned I will be put to irreparable loss and great hardship on the other hand no prejudice will be caused to the respondent herein.'

4. Be that as it may, learned Deputy Official Liquidator very fairly submits that there is no serious opposition for allowing this application subject to the rider that Form No.66 filed by the applicant will be considered on its own merits.

5. In the light of aforementioned trajectory in hearing today, having heard learned counsel for applicant, learned Deputy Official Liquidator and having been satisfied that the prayer in the instant application deserves to be acceded to, there being no opposition to the same owing to facts and circumstances of instant case, instant application is ordered as prayed for. 13.03.2020 kmi 2/3
