These petitions are filed to condone the delay of 3443 days in filing a petition to set aside abatement caused due to the death of the 1st respondent by name Mr.R.Arumugam ; to set aside abatement and to https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis being on record, respondents 3 to 7 as the legal heirs of the deceased 1st respondent in the second appeal. 2. This Court ordered notice. Though the 3rd respondent, namely the wife of the deceased 1st respondent was served, notice issued to other legal heirs of the 1st respondent is returned with an endorsement ''left''. Similarly, private notice sent to the 4th respondent was not claimed and notice issued to respondents 5 to 7 are returned with an endorsement ''left''. 3. This Court, having regard to the fact that the wife of the deceased 1st respondent had been served, she had not responded and notice to others was returned, either as ''left'' or ''unclaimed'', is of the view that the respondents are avoiding service. 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court scrutinized the application for condonation of delay meticulously and found that the petitioner has given sufficient reasons explaining the cause for the delay in filing the application to the satisfaction of this Court. Even though the delay is more than 9 ½ years, it is seen that the death of 1st respondent is not known to the petitioner. 5. Since the delay has been properly explained and this Court has no reason to discard the reason or unable to doubt the bona fides of the litigation, is inclined to condone the inordinate delay. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 6. Accordingly, all the petitions are ordered. 25-02-2025 AP CMP NO. 19295 of 2021 To 1. R.Arumugam (died) S/o Raman, No 40a, East 9th Street Johnsonpet Husthampatti Salem -7. 2. A.
