Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Deliberate fraud of the counsel’s clerk: Courts have recognized that if someone’s legal right is messed up because the counsel’s clerk committed fraud, it’s a big enough reason to condone delay under Sec. 5 (Limitation Act).

- Amendment of decree: If there’s been a change to a decree, it could justify a late appeal, since parties might not know what’s changed or need time to respond.

- Illness of pleader: If your lawyer is genuinely sick and couldn’t prepare or file things on time, courts take that seriously—people can’t be blamed for genuine illness.

Correct answer:

- Option 4: All of the above.
