THIS ORIGINAL SIDE APPEAL IS COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH AND HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VENKATESH NAIK T ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH) The present Original Side Appeal is filed by the State Government impugning the judgment and order dated 11-2-2011 passed in Company Application No.81 of 2011 in Company Petition No.166 of 2001. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:38181-DB OSA No. 21 of 2024 2. This appeal has been filed along with an application seeking condonation of delay of 13 years and 319 days. The Government has woken up after 14 years to see some merit to file the appeal against the impugned judgment and order. 14 years is the time period when Lord Rama was in exile and thereafter, he returned to Ayodhya. The Government was not in exile for 14 years to seek condonation of delay of 14 years to file this appeal and only on this ground, we could have condoned the delay. As we are of the opinion that the State Government was not in exile for 14 years and that is also not the case of the appellant, therefore, we find no ground to condone such an enormous and inordinate delay for 14 years in filing the appeal. Therefore, we dismiss the present Original Side Appeal along with I.A. No.1 of 2024 filed seeking condonation of delay of 14 years in filing the appeal, however, without costs. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:38181-DB OSA No. 21 of 2024 In view of the dismissal of the Original Side Appeal, I.A. No.2 of 2024 stands dismissed. Sd/- (D K SINGH) JUDGE Sd/- (VENKATESH NAIK T) JUDGE KVK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 34
