JUSTICE A.S. SUPEHIA and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRANAV TRIVEDI Date : 23/12/2025 ORAL ORDER (PER : HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE A.S. SUPEHIA) 1. The present application has been 1led seeking condonation of delay in 1ling the captioned application for restoration of the captioned writ petition. 2. The reasons are assigned in paragraph Nos.3 and 4 of the memo of the application. The same read as under: “3. The Applicant has led an application praying for restoration of the said writ petition. The said application was required to be led within a period of 30 days from the date of dismissal. However, there is a delay of 181 days in ling of said application. 4. The said delay has occurred on account of a reasonable cause. The said reasonable cause is that the Petitioner lives in Delhi. The Advocate of the Petitioner was not in a position to contact the Petitioner in time. The Advocate had lost the contact number of the Petitioner. However, with great di&iculties, the Advocate had found out the contact number of the Petitioner and had contacted them C/CA/6067/2025 ORDER DATED: 23/12/2025 and informed them about the dismissal of petitioner. Only, thereafter, the Advocate is instructed to get the Petitioner restored. However, in the process, there is a delay of 181 days.” 3. We are absolutely not convinced with the reasons assigned in the aforementioned paragraphs as delay is perfunctorily explained, without any speci1c details of advocate, dates etc. and appears to be an after-thought. It is pertinent to note that the captioned writ petition was dismissed for non-removal of o<ce objection(s), despite the order dated 29.01.2025 passed by this Court to remove the same on or before 24.02.2025, learned advocate Mr.Trivedi is also unable to o@er any further explanation. 4. Thus, in view of the vague and unspeci1c reasons assigned in the present application, we are not inclined to condone delay of 181 days. 5. The present application stands rejected. Sd/- (A. S.
