There is a delay of 631 days in filing the appeal. We have perused the affidavit filed in support of the petition. Sufficient grounds have not been made out to condone the delay. The only reason stated is that due to financial stringency he could not prefer the appeal in time. That is not a ground to condone the delay. Therefore, the petition to condone the delay is dismissed. Consequently, appeal also would stand dismissed. Sd/- K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN Judge Sd/- A.K. BASHEER Judge 26/09/2007 en [true copy]
