This is an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 praying for condonation of delay of 8 days in filing accompanying revision petition. The learned counsel for the applicant has drawn the attention of this Court to the averments made in paragraphs 4, 5 & 6 and has submitted that due to reasons beyond the control of the applicant, the delay has occasioned. The learned counsel for the respondent has not raised serious objection to the aspect of condonation of delay and has submitted that the contest would rather be made on the merits of the case. Considering the above and also the settled law that an application for condonation of delay is required to be considered in a pragmatic and justice oriented approach the delay which is of only 8 days is accordingly condoned.
