2. The learned counsel for the applicants submits that the Registry returned the plaint on 29.12.2023 during the court vacation. The applicants did not collect the returned plaint immediately.

This delay was neither willful nor wanton.

Accordingly this application is ordered. 29.07.2024 (1/2) r n s Note: The Registry is directed to number the suit, if it is otherwise in order.
