JUDGMENT
By way of this original petition filed on 28.09.2020, the petitioners seek to challenge an
order dated 09.10.2013 dismissing a restoration
application and a delay condonation application. The suit is of the year 2006. It was decreed ex parte. The petitioners filed IA 3105/2007 seeking to set aside the ex parte decree. The said application was dismissed for default. IA 466/2013 was filed seeking restoration of the said application. Since there was a delay of 1876 days, another application - IA 467/2013 was filed seeking to condone the delay. The learned Munsiff dismissed the applications as per order dated 09.10.2013.
2. The order passed in 2013 is sought to be challenged seven years later, in this original petition. The original petition is highly belated. There is no whisper in the original petition -: 2 :- regarding the delay. I decline to exercise the jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The Original Petition is dismissed.
