Civil Rule No. 406(Con) of 2022

Md. Abdul Hannan and others

     …Petitioners -Versus-

Md. Moshiur Rahman and others

     …Opposite-parties Mr. Ashfaqur Rahman, Advocate

...For the Petitioners No one appeared.

...For the opposite-parties Judgment on 07th November, 2024.

On an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, this

Rule was issued calling upon the opposite-parties to show cause as to

why  the  delay  of  1508  days  in  filing  this  revision  against  the impugned  judgment  and  decree  dated  15.01.2018  passed  by  the

learned  Joint District Judge, 2nd Court, Meherpur in Other Class

Appeal No. 22 of 2015 disallowing the same and thereby affirming

the judgment and decree dated 01.12.2014 passed by the learned

Senior Assistant Judge, Sadar, Meherpur in Title Suit No. 257 of

1998 dismissing the suit should not be condoned and/or pass such

other or further order or orders passed as to this Court may seem fit

and proper.                                                                                                          

Mr. Ashfaqur Rahman, learned Advocate appearing for the applicants submits that the delay of 1508 days in filing this revision

has been explained in the application filed on 01.06.2022. He further

submits that there is no intentional laches and negligence on the part

of the petitioners but the present revisional application could not be

filed in time. He also submits that there is merit in this revision to be succeeded and unless the delay of 1508 days in filing the revisional

2

application is condoned, the petitioners shall suffer irreparable loss and  deprived  of  getting  justice,  accordingly,  he  prays  for condonation of delay.

No one appeared for the opposite-parties to oppose the same.

I have gone through the application for condonation of delay and the statements made thereof.

It appears that the revisional application has been filed beyond time. The reasons stated in the application for condonation of delay are found to be satisfactory. Moreover, condonation of delay always depends upon the discretion of the Court and power to condone delay has been conferred upon Court to enable it to do substantial justice to the parties by disposing the matters on merit and the Court as  a long  standing practice  in  condoning  delay,  generally,  in  its discretion  entertains  application  for  condonation  of  delay  in  a suitable case where there is no laches or negligence on the part of the petitioners.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to condone the delay.

In the result, the Rule is made absolute, however, without any order as to costs.

The  delay  of  1508  days  in  filing  the  appeal  is  hereby condoned.

Office is directed to do the needful.
