there is a delay which is properly explained.

¶21

5. Learned counsel for the proposed Respondents is unable to point out any communication by which the Applicants were informed about the death of the Respondent No. 1.

The Application pleads that the Applicant acquired knowledge about the death of the Respondent recently and as such, fled the Application.
