Aliyamma Isow Vs. P.J. Joseph and Others

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Jun-21-2011

ThottathilB.Radhakrishnan,J. 1. This appeal by the first defendant in a suit for partition is filed along with an application seeking condonation of delay of 30 days in filing the appeal. She says that she was suffering from back pain and was, therefore, prevented by sufficient cause from filing this appeal within the time prescribed. We would have been inclined to issue notice on that ground for condonation of delay. But we thought it appropriate to look into the merits of the appeal as well since nothing forbids a look into the merits in terms of Order XLI Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure even while considering an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act in connection with a first appeal under Section 96 CPC. 2. The plaintiff and defendants are siblings. They are the children of Joseph and Aleyamma Ouseph, both of whom are no more. The relationship between the parties and the fact that the suit property originally belonged to their parents are not in dispute. The ...
