Consequently, the petitioner has filed an application to condone the delay in restoration. 2. The learned counsel for the respondent strongly opposed the application, relying on the affidavit. Since the petitioner’s previous counsel was admittedly deceased, there was no representation. Although there was some delay on the part of the petitioner, there was no representation on the date of the hearing. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 3 3. Considering that the petitioner's counsel is no more, I am inclined to allow this petition. 4.
