- Sufficient cause — Suit was dismissed on 24.12.2001 — Application for restoration was filed after about 54 days on 20.2.2002 — Application was filed within a statutory period of limitation — Argument that application was filed for such a long time — Held: Time and again recorded judgements of the superior Courts are unanimous on the point that only a sufficient cause is to be placed before the Court for non-appearance on the date fixed for hearing — If the Court is satisfied that sufficient cause has been brought forward, it becomes immaterial as to whether the application for restoration was filed on the very next day or after a month or two — Held further: The applicant has not to support his application by detailed proof, he has to establish sufficient cause for his absence to attend the Court on the date fixed.
