Headnote
Application deemed abandoned under section 21(1) because the reply to the First Examination Report was four days late, set aside. Rule 137 vests the Controller with power to correct any irregularity in procedure, an application under it had been filed along with the reply, and the impugned order showed no application of mind to it. Given a delay of four days, acceptable reasons and that unconsidered application, the delay was condoned.
