13.3.2023
Present: Mr. Vipin Pandit, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Rajan Kahol and Mr. Vishal Panwar, Additional Advocates General, with Mr. Rahul Thakur, Advocate, Deputy Advocate General, for the State.
By way of instant application, prayer has been made by the applicant/petitioner for condonation of delay in fling the accompanying petition. No reply is intended to be filed by the non-applicant/respondent/State.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused averments contained in the application, which is duly supported by an affidavit, this Court is convinced and satisfied that delay in maintaining the accompanying petition is neither intentional nor willful, rather same has occurred on account of circumstances, which were completely beyond the control of the applicant and as such, same deserves to be condoned.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the application, delay in filing the petition, which in my considered view, has sufficiently been explained, is condoned. The application stands disposed of.
Petition be registered.
