For Respondent(s) : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA SINGH DHADDHA Order [2025:RJ-JP:638] (3 of 4) [CRES-949/2024] 06/01/2025 Application No.01/2024 is allowed for the reasons mentioned therein and defect No.4 pointed out by the Registry is waived. This restoration application has been filed for restoration of S.B. Civil Contempt Petition No. 26/2021. Along with the said application, an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act has been filed for condonation of delay of 377 days. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that delay in filing the restoration application is unintentional. So, in the interest of justice, delay of 377 days in filing the restoration application may be condoned. Heard learned counsel for the applicants on the application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act. The reasons given in the application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act are reproduced as under:- “3. It is stated that applicants came to know about dismissal of the contempt petition only after the judgment passed by the Hon’ble Division Bench whereby, appeal against the order dated 01.12.2020 has been dismissed. It is stated that after dismissal of the appeal when applicants contacted their counsel then, it came into their knowledge that their contempt petition had already been dismissed on 06.07.2023 in absence of counsel for petitioner. It is stated that applicants are willing to pursue their contempt petition as they all are meritorious candidates and persons junior to them in the same selection process had already been appointed”. The applicants have not shown any plausible cause for filing the present restoration application after an inordinate delay of 377 days. Nothing has been mentioned as to when the applicants contacted their counsel and why none appeared on their behalf before the court on 06.07.2023 when the contempt petition was dismissed. Entirely vague averments have been made. So, I do [2025:RJ-JP:638] (4 of 4) [CRES-949/2024] not consider it a fit case to condone the inordinate delay of 377 days. Thus, application filed by the applicant for condonation of 377 days delay in filing the restoration application is devoid of merit and liable to be dismissed, which stands dismissed accordingly. Consequent upon the dismissal of the application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, the restoration application also stands dismissed. (NARENDRA SINGH DHADDHA),J Gourav/295
