In a particular case whether explanation furnished would constitute ``sufficient cause or not will be dependent upon facts of that case. There cannot be a straitjacket formula for accepting or rejecting explanation furnished for the delay caused in taking steps. However, courts should not proceed with the tendency of finding fault with the cause shown and reject the petition by a slipshod order in over jubilation of disposal drive. Acceptance of explanation furnished should be the rule and refusal, an exception, more so when no negligence or inaction or want of bona fides can be imputed to the defaulting party. On the other hand, while considering the matter the courts should not lose sight of the fact that by not taking steps within the time prescribed a valuable right has accrued to the other party which should not be lightly defeated by condoning delay in a routine-like manner. However, by taking a pedantic and hypertechnical view of the matter the explanation furnished should not be rejected when stakes are high and/or arguable points of facts and law are involved in the case, causing enormous loss and irreparable injury to the party against whom the li terminates, either by default or inaction and defeating valuable right of such a party to have the decision on merit. While considering the matter, courts have to strike a balance between resultant effect of the order it is going to pass upon the parties either way. 8- vihy U;k;ky; us mudh vkKk fnukad 29-7-2002 ls vizkFkhZ ds izkFkZuk i= dks vanj fe;kn eku fy;kA vr% ;g dguk fd vizkFkhZ us mikeu dh vkKk dks fujLr djkus ds fy, vihy isk ugha dh og ek= rduhdh gS o U;k;laxr ugha gSA vfHkys[k dks ns[kus ls ;g ekywe iM+rk gS fd fopkj.k U;k;ky; us ,d gh le; esa vizkfFkZ;ka e`rd cjth ds dk;e eqdke ds izkFkZuk i= o nkos ds mikeu dk fu.kZ; fn;k gSA bl vknsk dks nks fgLlksa esa vyx-vyx iSjk esa fy[kdj gLrk{kj fd;s gSA 9- esjh lqfopkfjr jk; eas vizkfFkZ;ka ds izkFkZuk i= dks ifjlhek ds vanj eku ysus ls mikeu dk ikfj.kkfed vknsk fujLr gks tkuk ekuuk U;k; fgr esa mfpr gSA ckxhph iznku cuke xq:th ckM+h iznku ¼5½ esa ;g fu.kZ; fn;k x;k gSA ``Application for substitution can be treated as one for settings aside abatement. bl dkj.k vizkfFkZ;ka dk izkFkZuk i= vknsk 22 fu;e 3 ds rgr dk;e eqdke ds vkosnu dks vknsk 22 fu;e 9 dk izkFkZuk i= ekuk tk ldrk gSA jktLo vihy izkf/kdkjh] chdkusj us vius fu.kZ; esa fopkj.k U;k;ky; dh mDr fof/kd =qfV dks lgh djus esa fdlh izdkj Hkh vf/kdkfjrk laca/kh =qfV ugha dh gS] vr% fuxjkuh lkjghu gksus ls [kkfjt fd;s tkus ;ksX; gSA 10- mi;qZDr foospu ds dze esa izkFkhZ }kjk izLrqr fuxjkuh vLohdkj dh tkrh gS rFkk v/khuLFk U;k;ky; dk fu.kZ; fnukad 29-7-2002 ;Fkkor j[kk tkrk gSA 11- fu.kZ; [kqys U;k;ky; esa lquk;k x;kA
