Mr. Singbal for the applicant states that he is restricting his appeal only against the order dated 16.08.2008 and not against the order dated 06.03.2009 by which the Trial Court has rejected prayer for review of the earlier order. The statement is accepted. 2. By this application, the applicant seeks condonation of delay of 128 days in filing the appeal from the order dated 16.08.2008 passed by the Trial Court. It is the case of the applicant that upon legal advise, he was prosecuting the remedy of review against the order dated 16.08.2008 and in the process, some time was taken and the Trial Court dismissed the review application by order dated 06.03.2009. The present appeal has been filed on 08.04.2009. 3. The prayer for condonation of delay has been opposed by Mr. Usgaonkar, the learned Senior Counsel. The Apex Court, in a catena of decisions, has held that the term 'sufficient cause' has to be liberally construed. In view of the settled position of law, the delay of 128 days in filing the Appeal From Order against the order dated 16.08.2008 is condoned subject to the applicant paying the costs of Rs.1,500/- to the respondent.
