erroneously advised to institute a Civil Suit before the Court of Civil Judge Junior Division, Phaltan and that accordingly they had filed Regular Civil Suit No.215 of 2010. Perusal of the plaint in Regular Civil Suit No.215 of 2010 would indicate that the relief sought by the Petitioners in that suit was not to seek any declaration against the Recovery Certificate dated 6 January 2001. Instead, they sought an injunction against the Defendants, conducting auction in respect of the suit property. Also of relevance is the fact that though the Recovery Certificate was issued on 6 January 2001, the suit was instituted after 9 long years in the year 2010. Mr. Aradhye, the learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioners would fairly admit that the suit came to be dismissed in the year 2013. Thus from the year 2013 till 2016 again the Petitioners went into deep slumber and filed the Revision Application in 2016. Considering the above factual position, it is difficult to hold that any justifiable reason existed for condonation of inordinate delay of 15 long years in filing Revision before the Divisional Joint Registrar. The Petitioners’ application for condonation of delay has rightly been rejected by the Divisional Joint Registrar.
