Mr.L.Mouli has entered appearance for the respondents 1 and 2. He reports that the third respondent, Subbammal, passed away on 09.03.2026. 3. A perusal of the Trial Court records shows that the suit had been presented by one Badrappan, who passed away pending the litigation. Respondents 1 to 3 were brought on record as his legal representatives, pursuant to the order dated 22.09.2021 made in I.A.No.04 of 2021.

Mr.L.Mouli, does not seriously oppose the petition. 5. Being satisfied with the reasons stated in the affidavit, I find sufficient cause to condone the delay. Accordingly, the petition is allowed 6.
