Bhupinder vs. Meenu CMP (M) No. 1236/2025 12.11.2025 Present: Mr. Amit Kumar Dhumal, Advocate, for the appellant/applicant. Ms. Meera Devi, Advocate, for the respondent. CMP (M) No. 1236/2025 This application has been filed for condonation of delay of 70 days in filing the appeal on behalf of the appellant against the impugned judgement and decree. Learned counsel for the respondent though has opposed the prayer for condonation of delay on the ground that day to day delay, as required to be explained under law, has not been explained and a vested right has been accrued in favour of the respondent for not filing the appeal within limitation period, but learned counsel for the applicant has reiterated the prayer for condonation of delay on the basis of the averments made in the application. Considering rival contentions of the parties and the material before us, delay of 70 days is condoned. The application stands disposed of. FAO (FC) No. 2025 Be registered. Notice.
