Appearance: Mr. Rishabh Khandelwal, Advocate for the Appellant.
20.12.2021
This hearing has been held through video conferencing.
This is an application to extend the time granted for curing the defects.
2. The facts of the case are that the Appellant filed the Memo of Appeal on 30.11.2021 and the Office after scrutiny of the Memo of Appeal, intimated the defects to the Appellant on the same day and returned the Memo of Appeal to the Appellant on 02.12.2021. The Appellant re-filed the Memo of Appeal on 16.12.2021. It is stated in the Interlocutory Application (IA) that since Counsel for the Appellant is based out of Jaipur, Rajasthan, it took some time to get the appeal ready and dispatched from Jaipur, Rajasthan. Hence, there is delay of 02 days in refiling the Memo of Appeal, so, the same may be condoned.
3. Heard learned Counsel appearing for the Appellant and perused the averments made in the IA as well as Office report.
4. Considering the submissions made on behalf of the Appellant and for the reasons mentioned in the IA, which are sufficient, the delay in re- filing the Memo of Appeal is hereby condoned.
