However, the learned Counsel for appellant submitted that the appellant come from a very poor farmer family and being financially weak were unable to keep in touch with the Counsel.

As such, there is delay of 302 days in filing application for bringing legal representatives of sole respondent. Though, there is no intentional delay but, at least application ought to have been moved within three months. However, there is delay of another 2-3 months.
