That is a suit for recovery of possession of the property<\/p>\n<p>referred to in the plaint schedule. According to the appellant<\/p>\n<p>property belong to her as per document No.1094 of 1996<\/p>\n<p>executed by one Latheef.           The said Latheef had earlier<\/p>\n<p>assigned 7= cents of land to the appellant and her children<\/p>\n<p>as per document No.2641 of 1988. Property of respondents is<\/p>\n<p>situated on the    south    of the suit property.       She alleged<\/p>\n<p>trespass into the suit property on 18.3.1998. Respondents<\/p>\n<p>contended that appellant has no title or possession over the<\/p>\n<p>disputed plot of land and that Latheef had no property with<\/p>\n<p>him after assignment deed No.2641 of 1988 (relating to the<\/p>\n<p>7.5 cents assigned to the appellant and her children). They<\/p>\n<p>also contended that execution of assignment deed No.1094 of<\/p>\n<p>1996 was only to facilitate a false claim over their property.<\/p>\n<p>Appellant gave evidence as P.W1 and proved Exts.A1 to A4.<\/p>\n<p>On the side of respondents D.W.1 was examined and they<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.245 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                             -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>proved Exts.B1 to B3. Exhibit C1 series are the report and<\/p>\n<p>plan produced by the Advocate Commissioner. Trial court<\/p>\n<p>found that appellant is not entitled to recover possession<\/p>\n<p>of the property.       That finding was based also on an<\/p>\n<p>admission made by the appellant as P.W.1 that the entire<\/p>\n<p>property of Latheef was assigned to her as per Ext.B2,<\/p>\n<p>assignment deed No.2641 of 1988.            After 1350 days<\/p>\n<p>appellant filed A.S.No.67 of 2008 with I.A. No.1648 of 2007<\/p>\n<p>under Section 5 of the Limitation Act (for short, &#8220;the Act&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>to condone the delay in filing the appeal. Reason stated in<\/p>\n<p>the affidavit     is that she had   instructed her counsel to<\/p>\n<p>prefer an appeal, counsel promised to do so but in August,<\/p>\n<p>2007 when she made enquiry she was told that no appeal<\/p>\n<p>had been filed. Application was opposed by the respondent<\/p>\n<p>denying the statements in the affidavit of the appellant as<\/p>\n<p>to cause of delay and contending that there was no<\/p>\n<p>sufficient cause to condone the delay.        Appellant gave<\/p>\n<p>evidence as P.W1.       Respondents examined her counsel as<\/p>\n<p>R.W.1. Learned Sub Judge found that reasons stated by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant for condonation of delay is proved to be incorrect<\/p>\n<p>and hence the request for condonation of delay cannot be<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.245 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                             -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>entertained.        I.A. No.1648 of 2007 was dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>Consequence was dismissal of A.S. No.67 of 2008. Hence<\/p>\n<p>the Second Appeal raising by way of substantial question of<\/p>\n<p>law whether first appellate court was legally correct on the<\/p>\n<p>facts and circumstances of the case in dismissing I.A.<\/p>\n<p>No.1658 of 2007. Learned counsel has placed reliance on<\/p>\n<p>the decisions of the Supreme court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1117226\/\">Collector, Land<\/p>\n<p>Acquisition, Anantnag v. Katiji (AIR<\/a> 1987 SC<\/p>\n<p>1353), <a href=\"\/doc\/1702783\/\">State of Kerala v. Havea Combines<\/a> (2009<\/p>\n<p>[1] KLT 451) and <a href=\"\/doc\/1983086\/\">State of Karnataka v. Moideen<\/p>\n<p>Kunhi (AIR<\/a> 2009 SC 2577).               Learned     counsel<\/p>\n<p>submitted that the expression &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221; must be<\/p>\n<p>given liberal interpretation so as to advance cause of<\/p>\n<p>justice, appellant has a meritorious case to be argued<\/p>\n<p>before the first appellate court and on the facts and<\/p>\n<p>circumstances of the case, also considering the pitiable<\/p>\n<p>situation in which the appellant is placed first appellate<\/p>\n<p>court ought to have exercised discretion in favour of the<\/p>\n<p>appellant and condoned the delay. According to learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel even if delay is condoned what could happen at the<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.245 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                              -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>worst is that if the appeal of the appellant is not meritorious<\/p>\n<p>it would end in a dismissal.\n<\/p>\n<p>       2.     Section 5 of the Act gives discretionary<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction on the court to condone delay when it is shown<\/p>\n<p>that party concerned was prevented by sufficient cause<\/p>\n<p>from not filing the appeal on time. The Supreme Court in<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/226770\/\">Ramlal v. Rewa Coalfields Ltd (AIR<\/a> 1962 SC 361)<\/p>\n<p>has stated that      discretion in that regard can be exercised<\/p>\n<p>only if sufficient cause is shown as is clear from the<\/p>\n<p>expression &#8220;may be admitted&#8221; occurring in Sec.5 of the Act.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, authoritative pronouncements on the point say<\/p>\n<p>that in considering whether sufficient cause is made out<\/p>\n<p>courts have to adopt a liberal approach so as to advance<\/p>\n<p>the cause of justice. At the same time courts cannot also<\/p>\n<p>be oblivious of the fact that law of limitation is a Statute<\/p>\n<p>of peace and repose intended to give finality for decisions<\/p>\n<p>of the court and to prevent long, dormant claims being<\/p>\n<p>raked up again. Question whether a party was prevented<\/p>\n<p>by sufficient cause from not preferring the appeal on time<\/p>\n<p>has to depend on the facts and circumstances of each<\/p>\n<p>case.    In    Collector, Land Acquisition, Anantnag v.<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.245 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Katiji (supra) Supreme Court has stated the guidelines to<\/p>\n<p>be borne in mind         while considering sufficient cause is<\/p>\n<p>made out.         One of the circumstances stated is that<\/p>\n<p>ordinarily a litigant does not stand to benefit by lodging an<\/p>\n<p>appeal late.      Legislature has conferred power on the court<\/p>\n<p>under Sec.5 of the Act to enable the court to do substantial<\/p>\n<p>justice to the parties by disposing of matters on merit. <a href=\"\/doc\/1702783\/\">In<\/p>\n<p>State of Kerala v. Havea Combines<\/a> (supra) mistaken<\/p>\n<p>legal advice was held to be not generally applicable as<\/p>\n<p>sufficient cause to condone delay.       It was held that the<\/p>\n<p>question whether         there was sufficient case must be<\/p>\n<p>decided on the facts of the case.      <a href=\"\/doc\/1983086\/\">In State of Karnataka<\/p>\n<p>v. Moideen Kunhi<\/a> (supra) decision taken is that the<\/p>\n<p>expression      &#8216;sufficient cause&#8217;    must receive   a liberal<\/p>\n<p>consideration to advance cause of justice. I think, there<\/p>\n<p>could be no quarrel on the above propositions. Power of<\/p>\n<p>the court is to administer justice and in cases where a<\/p>\n<p>liberal interpretation of the expression &#8216;sufficient cause&#8217; is<\/p>\n<p>required it is the responsibility of the court to do so. It is<\/p>\n<p>also the position of law that whether circumstances pleaded<\/p>\n<p>would amount to sufficient cause has to be decided on the<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.245 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -: 6 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>facts pleaded. Court cannot go beyond the facts pleaded to<\/p>\n<p>hold that party concerned has sufficient cause to prefer the<\/p>\n<p>appeal beyond the prescribed time. The Supreme Court in<\/p>\n<p>Pundik J.Patil v. Executive Engineer (2009 [1]<\/p>\n<p>KLT SN 25 (Case No.26) SC ) held that incorrect statement<\/p>\n<p>made in the application seeking condonation of delay itself<\/p>\n<p>is sufficient to reject the application without any further<\/p>\n<p>enquiry      as to whether the averments made in the<\/p>\n<p>application reveal sufficient cause to condone the delay.<\/p>\n<p>That is because a party taking a false stand to get rid of<\/p>\n<p>the bar of limitation should not be encouraged to get any<\/p>\n<p>premium on the falsehood on his part by condoning delay.<\/p>\n<p>       3.     Now coming to the facts pleaded in the case on<\/p>\n<p>hand as I stated earlier case set up by the appellant is that<\/p>\n<p>after the suit was dismissed on 9.10.2003 copy of judgment<\/p>\n<p>and    decree were applied    on 3.11.2003 and      she had<\/p>\n<p>instructed the counsel to prefer the appeal and the counsel<\/p>\n<p>in turn promised to do so.     In August, 2007 (i.e., after<\/p>\n<p>almost 4 years) she enquired about the matter and learnt<\/p>\n<p>that no appeal had been preferred.          Appellant gave<\/p>\n<p>evidence as P.W1 in that line. But in cross-examination she<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.245 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                              -: 7 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>stated that she got back the case records from her counsel<\/p>\n<p>on 27.11.2003. This is also proved by the endorsement<\/p>\n<p>made by the appellant (Ext.X1) to that effect. She has also<\/p>\n<p>stated that she       had consulted several lawyers in the<\/p>\n<p>matter and all of them had advised her to file appeal. But<\/p>\n<p>to none of them the case file which was with her was given.<\/p>\n<p>Respondents examined the counsel for the appellant as<\/p>\n<p>R.W.1.     He stated that after the dismissal of the suit<\/p>\n<p>appellant got back the file from him (as admitted by P.W.1<\/p>\n<p>and as seen from Ext.X1). Thereafter appellant approached<\/p>\n<p>the Women&#8217;s Commission, Lok Adalath and the Police with<\/p>\n<p>her case as to recoverability of the property.<\/p>\n<p>       4.     The only ground pleaded by the appellant is<\/p>\n<p>about the      instruction given to the counsel and promise<\/p>\n<p>made      by him to file appeal. That has been proved to be<\/p>\n<p>incorrect, if not false by the evidence of P.W.1 and R.W.1<\/p>\n<p>and Ext.X1. Once reason stated by the appellant is found<\/p>\n<p>to be incorrect then the question of liberal interpretation of<\/p>\n<p>the expression &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221; based on incorrect facts<\/p>\n<p>did not arise as observed by the Supreme Court in Pundik<\/p>\n<p>J.Patil v. Executive Engineer (supra). In such a situation<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.245 of 2010<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            -: 8 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>court cannot travel beyond the case pleaded by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant to find out a case for the appellant and then hold<\/p>\n<p>that there is sufficient cause and condone the delay.<\/p>\n<p>Appellant has to blame herself for the delay. In the light of<\/p>\n<p>the above I am inclined to think that by no stretch of<\/p>\n<p>imagination reason stated by the appellant can be brought<\/p>\n<p>within the mischief of the expression &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>That being the legal and factual position I do not find<\/p>\n<p>anything illegal in the    first appellate court refusing to<\/p>\n<p>condone the delay.        No substantial question of law is<\/p>\n<p>involved.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       Second Appeal is dismissed in limine.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Interlocutory Application Nos.618 and 619 of 2010<\/p>\n<p>shall stand dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                              THOMAS P.JOSEPH, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>vsv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Asmabeevi vs Kunhimalu @ Khadeeja on 18 March, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM RSA.No. 245 of 2010() 1.
