Jayram th. LRs. & Anr. vs. All b/c Gurjar Residents of Bhadano Ki Dhani

Code of Civil Procedure, 1908–Order 9, Rule 13 & Sec. 96–First appeal
against the ex-parte decree–Plea of appellants that the original defendant remained of bedridden and was seriously ill preceding two years of his death–However, nothing is on record to substantiate this positive assertion–No action was taken against the concerned lawyer–Blaming a lawyer with bald allegations of not apprising to client about stage of trial in a matter is per se not tenable–No case is made out for exercising the discretion to condone the inordinate delay.
