I have heard      the learned       counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>                     appellant on interlocutory application No.6262 of 2011.<\/p>\n<p>                              (2) This application has been filed under Order<\/p>\n<p>                     22 Rule 3 and 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure read with<\/p>\n<p>                     Section 5 of the Limitation Act by the appellant.             It is<\/p>\n<p>                     stated that appellant No.5, Bibi Mehrun Nisa died on<\/p>\n<p>                     10.06.2008 leaving behind the legal representatives as<\/p>\n<p>                     mentioned in detail in paragraph 1 of the said application.<\/p>\n<p>                     The   interlocutory   application     has    been     filed     on<\/p>\n<p>                     12.09.2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>                              (3) At paragraph 4, it has been stated that the<\/p>\n<p>                     deceased appellant No.5 was living with her husband,<\/p>\n<p>                     Sheikh Abbash at Pirpaiti and doing business. Appellants<\/p>\n<p>                     as such were not aware about the pendency of the appeal<\/p>\n<p>                     in this Hon&#8217;ble Court.   Likewise at paragraph 5, it has<\/p>\n<p>                     been stated that recently appellants during Ramzan came<\/p>\n<p>                     after years to Patna and knew about pendnecy of the<\/p>\n<p>                     appeal   and   appearing    by      filing   this   application.<\/p>\n<p>                     Therefore, it was prayed for condoning the delay and also<\/p>\n<p>                     for setting aside abatement.\n<\/p>\n<p>                              (4) In view of the above facts stated in the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                      -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>application, the only explanation given is that the<\/p>\n<p>appellants were not knowing the pendency of this appeal.<\/p>\n<p>         (5) From perusal of the memo of appeal, it<\/p>\n<p>appears that there are 7 appellants. Appellant No.1 to 3<\/p>\n<p>are the sons and appellant No.4 to 7 are the daughters of<\/p>\n<p>late Md. Yaqub.       Out of them only appellant No.5 died.<\/p>\n<p>The other      defendants     did   not take any steps         for<\/p>\n<p>substitution. The ground for delay has been stated that<\/p>\n<p>the appellants were not knowing about the pendency of<\/p>\n<p>the First Appeal. Except this explanation regarding delay<\/p>\n<p>of 3 years, there is no explanation.                There is no<\/p>\n<p>explanation as to why the other appellants did not take<\/p>\n<p>any step for substitution. It is not reliable that the heirs<\/p>\n<p>of appellant No.5 were not knowing about the pendency<\/p>\n<p>of the present appeal because of the fact that the<\/p>\n<p>appellant     No.5    was   closely    related   to   the    other<\/p>\n<p>appellants.\n<\/p>\n<p>         (6) The Apex Court in 2009 (2) Supreme<\/p>\n<p>Court    cases        689   R.B.      Ramlingam        Vs.   R.B.<\/p>\n<p>Bhubneshwari has held that Section 5 of the<\/p>\n<p>Limitation     Act,    1963    does     not   lay     down    any<\/p>\n<p>standard or objective test.           The test of &#8220;sufficient<\/p>\n<p>cause&#8221; is purely an individualistic taste.             It is not<\/p>\n<p>an objective test. Therefore, no two cases can be<\/p>\n<p>treated alike. The statute of limitation has left the<\/p>\n<p>concept of &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221; delightfully undefined<\/p>\n<p>thereby leaving to the Court a well intentioned<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                     -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>discretion to decide the individual cases whether<\/p>\n<p>circumstances exist establishing &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>There are no categories of &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221;.         The<\/p>\n<p>categories of sufficient cause are never exhausted. Each<\/p>\n<p>case spells out a unique experience to be dealt with by a<\/p>\n<p>Court as such.\n<\/p>\n<p>         (7) No doubt, it is well settled principle of law<\/p>\n<p>that this provision, i.e., Section 5 of the Limitation Act,<\/p>\n<p>1963 should be construed liberally.     The Court has to<\/p>\n<p>place itself in the position of the person concerned and<\/p>\n<p>find out if the delay can be said to have resulted from the<\/p>\n<p>cause which he has adduced and if it can be recorded as<\/p>\n<p>sufficient cause.\n<\/p>\n<p>         (8) In 2010 (8) Supreme Court cases 685<\/p>\n<p>Balwant Singh (dead) Vs. Jagdish Singh and Ors,<\/p>\n<p>the Apex Court at paragraph 32, 33, 34 and 35 has held<\/p>\n<p>as follows :\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>               &#8220;32. It must be kept in mind that<br \/>\n      whenever a law is enacted by the legislature, it is<br \/>\n      intended to be enforced in its proper perspective.<br \/>\n      It is an equally settled principle of law that the<br \/>\n      provisions of a statute, including every word, have<br \/>\n      to be given full effect, keeping the legislative<br \/>\n      intent in mind, in order to ensure that the<br \/>\n      projected object is achieved. In other words, no<br \/>\n      provisions can be treated to have been enacted<br \/>\n      purposelessly.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>               33. Furthermore, it is also a well-settled<br \/>\n      canon of interpretative jurisprudence that the<br \/>\n      Court should not give such an interpretation to the<br \/>\n      provisions which would render the provision<br \/>\n      ineffective or odious. Once the legislature has<br \/>\n      enacted the provisions of Order 22, with particular<br \/>\n      reference to Rule 9, and the provisions of the<br \/>\n      Limitation Act are applied to the entertainment of<br \/>\n      such an application, all these provisions have to<br \/>\n      be given their true and correct meaning and must<br \/>\n      be applied wherever called for. If we accept the<br \/>\n      contention of the learned counsel appearing for<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                 -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      the applicant that the Court should take a very<br \/>\n      liberal approach and interpret these provisions<br \/>\n      (Order 22 Rule 9 CPC and Section 5 of the<br \/>\n      Limitation Act) in such a manner and so liberally,<br \/>\n      irrespective of the period of delay, it would<br \/>\n      amount to practically rendering all these<br \/>\n      provisions redundant and inoperative.       Such<br \/>\n      approach or interpretation would hardly be<br \/>\n      permissible in law.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>               34. Liberal construction of the expression<br \/>\n      &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221; is intended to advance<br \/>\n      substantial justice which itself presupposes no<br \/>\n      negligence or inaction on the part of the applicant,<br \/>\n      to whom want of bona fide is imputable. There<br \/>\n      can be instances where the Court should condone<br \/>\n      the delay; equally there would be cases where the<br \/>\n      Court must exercise its discretion against the<br \/>\n      applicant for want of any of these ingredients or<br \/>\n      where it does not reflect &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221; as<br \/>\n      understood in law.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>               35. The expression &#8220;sufficient cause&#8221;<br \/>\n      implies the presence of legal and adequate<br \/>\n      reasons. The word &#8220;sufficient&#8221; means adequate<br \/>\n      enough, as much as may be necessary to answer<br \/>\n      the purpose intended. It embraces no more than<br \/>\n      that which provides a plentitude which, when<br \/>\n      done, suffices to accomplish the purpose intended<br \/>\n      in the light of existing circumstances and when<br \/>\n      viewed from the reasonable standard of practical<br \/>\n      and cautious men. The sufficient cause should be<br \/>\n      such as it would persuade the Court, in exercise of<br \/>\n      its judicial discretion, to treat the delay as an<br \/>\n      excusable one. These provisions give the courts<br \/>\n      enough power and discretion to apply a law in a<br \/>\n      meaningful manner, while assuring that the<br \/>\n      purpose of enacting such a law does not stand<br \/>\n      frustrated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>        (9) Therefore, in view of the settled principle of<\/p>\n<p>law laid down by the Apex Court, the party should show<\/p>\n<p>that besides acting bonafide, it had taken all possible<\/p>\n<p>steps within its power and control and had approached<\/p>\n<p>the Court without any unnecessary delay.      The test is<\/p>\n<p>whether or not a cause is sufficient to see whether it<\/p>\n<p>could have been avoided by the party by the exercise of<\/p>\n<p>due care and attention.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                 -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        (10) In 2008 (17) Supreme Court cases 448<\/p>\n<p>Pundlik Jalam Patil (dead) Vs. Executive Engineer,<\/p>\n<p>Jalgaon Medium Project and Anr., the Apex Court at<\/p>\n<p>paragraph 14 has held as follows :\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                &#8220;14. It is true that the power to condone<br \/>\n      the delay rests with the Court in which the<br \/>\n      application was filed beyond time and decide<br \/>\n      whether there is sufficient cause for condoning<br \/>\n      the delay and ordinarily the superior Court may<br \/>\n      not interfere with such discretion even if some<br \/>\n      error is to be found in the discretion so exercised<br \/>\n      by the Court but where there is no sufficient cause<br \/>\n      for condoning the delay but the delay was<br \/>\n      condoned, it is a case of discretion not being<br \/>\n      exercised judicially and the order becomes<br \/>\n      vulnerable and susceptible for its correction by<br \/>\n      the superior court. The High Court having found<br \/>\n      that the respondent in its application made<br \/>\n      incorrect submission that it had no knowledge of<br \/>\n      the award passed by the Reference Court ought to<br \/>\n      have refused to exercise its discretion. The High<br \/>\n      Court exercised its discretion on wrong principles.<br \/>\n      In that view of the matter, we cannot sustain the<br \/>\n      exercise of discretion in the manner done by the<br \/>\n      High Court.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>        (11) In this aforesaid decision at paragraph 12,<\/p>\n<p>the Apex Court has held that &#8220;in our considered<\/p>\n<p>opinion incorrect statement made in the application<\/p>\n<p>seeking condonation of delay itself is sufficient to<\/p>\n<p>reject the application without any further inquiry as<\/p>\n<p>to whether the averments made in the application<\/p>\n<p>reveals sufficient cause to condone the delay.<\/p>\n<p>        (12) In the present case as stated above, the<\/p>\n<p>only explanation given is that the appellants have no<\/p>\n<p>knowledge about the pendency of the appeal.            This<\/p>\n<p>explanation is not acceptable.    It appears to be false<\/p>\n<p>statements and this statement has been made with a<\/p>\n<p>view to get the delay condoned.      It is well settled that<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                   -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                               this provision should, no doubt, be construed liberally but<\/p>\n<p>                               at the same time, the Court must see that no litigant<\/p>\n<p>                               should be allowed to take undue advantage of the liberal<\/p>\n<p>                               construction of the provision by the Court.                In my<\/p>\n<p>                               opinion, therefore, this explanation given by the appellant<\/p>\n<p>                               is not sufficient cause for condoning the delay.              The<\/p>\n<p>                               conduct of the appellants shows their laches and inaction.<\/p>\n<p>                               I, therefore, find that the appellants have failed to prove<\/p>\n<p>                               the   sufficient   cause   for   not   filing   the   substitution<\/p>\n<p>                               application within the period prescribed. Accordingly, the<\/p>\n<p>                               application for substitution filed by the appellant is<\/p>\n<p>                               rejected as barred by limitation and, therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>                               abatement cannot be set aside. Hence, it is held that the<\/p>\n<p>                               Appeal has abated against the heirs of the appellant<\/p>\n<p>                               No.5.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                  (Mungeshwar Sahoo, J.)<\/p>\n<p>Patna High Court, Patna<br \/>\nThe 13thday of October, 2011<br \/>\nSanjeev\/A.F.R.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court &#8211; Orders Md.
