To set aside the order dated 15-02-2017 in WP(MD).No.6137 of 2015.

ORDER : This petition coming on for orders upon perusing the petition and the affidavit filed in support thereof and upon hearing the arguments of Mr.A.K.BASKARA PANDIAN, Special Government Pleader for the First Petitioner and of Mr.B.CHRISTOPHER, Advocate on behalf of the respondent, the court made the following order:- [Common Order of the Court was made by K.K.SASIDHARAN, J.] This petition has been filed to condone the delay of 510 days in filing the appeal against the order dated 15.02.2017 in W.P.[MD] No.6137 of 2015.

2.There is absolutely no reason, much less justifiable reason, projected by the petitioner for condoning the delay. It is true that length of delay is not material. However, at least, minimum reasons should be given by the petitioners for condoning the delay. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

The affidavit is bereft of details as to when the certified copy of the order was forwarded and as to when the Government has taken administrative action.

3.In the absence of all these reasons, we are of the view that there is no case made out by the petitioners to condone the delay. 4.The Civil Miscellaneous Petition is dismissed. sd/- 15/11/2018 / TRUE COPY / Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.) Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai - 625 023.
