1 issue framed by the court
Whether the delay of 81 days in representing the returned original petition papers should be condoned.¶8
How this case reached the court
Returned papers of the original petition (OP.DR.No. 161813 of 2024) could not be represented in time because the translation of a Tamil Will into English took time, resulting in a delay of 81 days.¶9
The 81-day delay arose only at the re-presentation (refiling) stage of the returned papers, not at the initial filing stage.¶10
