Since the legal heirs of the deceased appellant were already substituted, an application under Order 9 Rule 4 of the CPC was filed for setting aside the order dated 21.05.2017 passed in RSA No. 228/2005. It is submitted that the delay has been caused due to lack of knowledge about the dismissal of the RSA No. 228/2005 on the part of the present applicant. The learned counsel for the respondents has submitted that the matter attained finality and the same should not be reopened at this stage. Having regard to the grounds stated above by the appellant /applicant supported by an affidavit and in view of the fact that the applicant is able to show sufficient causes for condoning the delay, the delay is condoned.
