About this template
What is this template?
This is a sworn statement of facts used to support a miscellaneous application in Indian civil courts. It specifically addresses the reasons for non-appearance, such as a counsel's illness, and is not a substantive pleading on the merits of the underlying appeal.
When should you use it?
Use this when a Civil Miscellaneous Petition or Appeal has been dismissed for default and you need to provide evidence for its restoration. Use a Petition for Restoration of Suit instead if you are filing the primary motion rather than the supporting evidence.
Who it's for
- an applicant in a New Delhi civil matter seeking to restore a suit dismissed for default
- a party whose counsel was unable to attend court due to illness or contingency
- a litigant invoking the inherent powers of the court under Section 151 CPC
