Summary
After recounting the prolonged procedural history of a civil suit alleging an unauthorized sale of joint-family property, the Court dismissed the special leave petition, observing that the suit had become virtually infructuous. It issued no operative direction for restoration or a general rule on procedural delay.
Issues
- Whether the High Court’s dismissal of the application to restore the civil revision should be set aside after the delay and procedural history described in the order.
Held
- No general rule on restoration or condonation of delay was decided. Given the age and procedural history of the underlying suit, which the Court considered virtually infructuous, the special leave petition was dismissed. (¶¶ 13, 14, 15)
Result
The special leave petition was dismissed and pending applications were disposed of.
