The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court dismissed the Civil Miscellaneous Petition seeking condonation of 1219 days delay in filing a second appeal in a partition suit. The court found the petitioners' explanation—that their advocate's clerk lost the case bundle in 2019 and only traced it in 2024—highly improbable and insufficient, especially since no supporting affidavit was filed. The court also noted the petitioners' unclean hands in the proceeding, as they had falsely represented that a second appeal was already pending before finally filing the petition in 2024, thereby rejecting both the delay condonation petition and the second appeal itself. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
