S.Philips v. K. Ponnusamy (died) 1. Amirtham
Case brief
What is this about?
Condonation of delay refused; restoration of Second Appeal dismissed for non-prosecution on 23.06.2023 denied; 624-day delay held insufficiently explained; merits not discussed; CMP Nos.14711 & 11500 of 2025 in S.A.No.1037 of 2010; High Court of Judicature at Madras; Justice C.V. Kartikeyan; order dated 24-07-2025; applicants were defendants in decreed original suit and appellants whose appeal was dismissed by the first appellate Court; both applications dismissed.
What did the court decide?
The merits of the underlying dispute were not entered into; the delay of 624 days has not been sufficiently explained, and hence both applications (condonation of delay and restoration of the Second Appeal) stand dismissed. ¶29
