In particular, he urged that there was an error apparent on record in the sense that the assumption of the appellant-applicant Bhat, that there will be delay in the hearing of another case of his if the present appeal under consideration were to be pressed was a wrong one. It should, therefore, be possible to deal with the application as one for rectification of an error apparent on record. He also felt that there was case law regarding withdrawal of appeals and their subsequent restitution but it was not readily available with him. We had accordingly adjourned the case. 4. On the .....
