FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 1792 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST.) NO.2306 OF 2009 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ This civil application is filed for condonation of delay of 462 days caused in filing the appeal. 2 Heard Shri Jadhav, learned A.G.P. in support of the application and Shri R.T. Deshmukh , learned Counsel for respondent. 3 In the application it is averred that the impugned judgment and award was was passed on 20th July, 2007. The Law & Judiciary Department scrutinized the proposal and forwarded the same to the office of the Government Pleader on 21st September, 2007 for filing appeal. 4 Correspondence was exchanged for the purpose of certified copy of the judgment and award, typed copies of the same, difference chart and court fees. Some of the copies were received on 8th October, 2007 and some of the copies were received subsequently on 7th January, 2009. The appeal was eventually filed on 29th January, 2009. 5 On merits, it is submitted that the Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation of Rs.10,734/- which was enhanced by the reference Court to Rs.20,500/-. Considering the quantum involved in the appeal and also considering the fact that the applicant has not explained the delay for the period from November, 2007 to 7th January, 2009, in my opinion, this is not a fit case for condoning the delay. Hence, civil application is rejected with no order as to costs. In view of rejection of the civil application, first appeal stands dismissed. (R.G. KETKAR, J.) 04.12.2009. PLK/*
