Issues:
1. Restoration of appeal dismissed for want of pursuance.
2. Delay in filing application for recalling the final order.

Analysis:
1. The judgment deals with an application for restoration of an appeal that was dismissed due to lack of pursuance by the appellant. The applicant, who did not appear for the hearing, moved the application for restoration. The tribunal noted that the address where notices were issued to the appellant in 2014 was acknowledged as the correct address where the defect memo was served and complied with by the appellant. The tribunal found the observation of non-pursuance to be correct, especially given the appellant's absence during the current proceedings. The tribunal did not find any justified reason to accept the application for restoration based on these findings.

2. Additionally, the tribunal addressed the delay in filing the application for recalling the final order. The application was moved in September 2019, almost five years after the final order of 2014. The tribunal deemed the ground mentioned in the application about the presumption of the appeal being pending during this period as unreasonable. There was no explanation provided for not enquiring about the status of the pending appeal during the five-year delay. Considering the lack of sufficient cause explaining the delay and the conduct of the appellant, the tribunal dismissed the application not only for want of pursuance but also for the apparent delay in filing the application.

In conclusion, the tribunal dismissed the application for restoration of the appeal, citing the correct observation of non-pursuance by the appellant and the unreasonable delay in filing the application for recalling the final order. The judgment highlights the importance of timely pursuit of legal matters and providing sufficient cause for any delays in the legal process.
