Surjeet Kumar vs. Punjab National Bank Cr.MP(M) No. 1206 of 2026 07.07.2026 Present Mr. Varun Chauhan, Advocate, for the applicant/ petitioner. Mr. Arvind Sharma, Advocate, for the non- applicant/respondent. Cr.MP(M) No. 1206 of 2026 By way of instant application, prayer has been made on behalf of the applicant/petitioner for condonation of delay in filing the accompanying petition, which is barred by limitation. Mr. Arvind Sharma, Advocate has put in appearance on behalf of the non-applicant/respondent. He states that he does not intend to file any reply to the application and shall have no objection in case prayer made in the application is allowed. Having carefully perused the averments contained in the application, which is duly supported by an affidavit, this Court is convinced and satisfied that delay in maintaining the accompanying petition is neither intentional nor deliberate, rather same has occurred on the account of the circumstances, which were completely beyond the control of the applicant/petitioner and as such, delay of 48 days in filing the petition, which in my considered view has been sufficiently explained, is condoned. The petition be registered. The application stands disposed of Cr. Revision No.____ of 2026 Notice. Mr. Arvind Sharma, Advocate has put in appearance on behalf of the respondent.
