Read Judgment

Restoration Application - When a Court is dealing with an application for restoration of any matter which is dismissed for nonprosecution and the application for restoration is filed after huge delay, the Court must be cognizant of the fact that time does not stand still. Whenever delay of a long period of time is sought to be condoned, the Court should not rule out involvement of third parties in the litigation. In fact, the Court must presume that third party rights may have been created and/or additional parties may have developed rights and interest in the litigation. (Para 12)
