Case Summary: RFA 488/2023 & RFA 545/2023 Court Decision: The Delhi High Court dismissed both condonation of delay applications and the underlying appeals (RFA 488/2023 and RFA 545/2023). Key Reasoning: The appellants sought to challenge an ex-parte judgment dated 30.07.2016 (ordering specific performance of property sale agreements) with a 6-year, 9-month delay, blaming advocate negligence. However, the court found the appellants themselves deliberately chose not to challenge the decree—they had previously filed and withdrawn an application to set aside the ex-parte order in 2017, and the appellant personally stated willingness to execute the sale deed in 2018. The court rejected claims that advocate Mr. Vivek Sharma was negligent, noting other counsel had already pursued appropriate remedies earlier. The judgment itself was valid and legally sound, not void as claimed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
