execution petition pending before it had been transferred to the District Court in
view of Section 2 of the Delhi High Court (Amendment) Act, 2003. Thereafter,
the execution proceedings had been transferred to the learned Civil Judge vide
order dated 10.02.2004 since the District Court lacked the jurisdiction to
entertain the same. It is noteworthy that a copy of the plaint had been filed by
the objector(s)/petitioners themselves to show the valuation of the suit. The
learned counsel for the objectors/petitioners was also present when the order
dated 10.02.2004 was passed. This would imply that the petitioners were
always aware of the law, i.e., Delhi High Court (Amendment) Act, 2003 and
were beneficiaries of sound legal assistance. Therefore, it cannot be said that
the appeal against the order dated 30.06.2006 was filed before the High Court
upon incorrect legal advice or due to inadvertence. The High Court also
granted an interim stay on 18.04.2006 in favour of the petitioners. An
objection to the maintainability of the connected appeal bearing EFA No.
5/2007 was raised on 28.05.2007 wherein the learned counsel for the
petitioners had sought time to study the matter. The learned counsel had
admitted that if EFA No. 5/2007 was not maintainable, then the connected
appeal bearing EFA No. 13/2006 would also not be maintainable. This Court
would notice that on 28.05.2007, when the connected appeals bearing EFA
Nos. 13/2006 and 5/2007 were taken up, counsel for the petitioners (appellants
therein) in both the cases were present. Therefore, it cannot be said that the
petitioners were not aware of the fact that their appeal was not maintainable.
Accordingly, the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners that no
objection apropos the maintainability of EFA No. 13/2006 was taken is without
substance is untenable.

of the legal advice and if possible to support it by an affidavit of the
legal adviser that he had given such advice after due care and
attention. Mere broad and general plea that the tenant had under
legal advice and bona fide belief been prosecuting with the due
diligence another proceeding for the getting the ex-parte order set
aside is, in my opinion, not enough on the facts and circumstances
of the present case. Due diligence and caution are, in my view,
essential pre-requisites before section 14, Limitation Act, can be
attracted. The litigants seeking relief under section 5, Limitation
Act, on the ground of mistaken advice of their counsel must place
material before the Court from which it is possible to deduce that
the counsel acted in "good faith"; in other words, with "due care
and attention". A mistake due to negligence or want of reasonable
skill can scarcely be considered to fall within the definition of good
faith as defined in the Limitation Act."
