There is delay of 1871 days in filing the appeals. The applications are vehemently opposed by Shri Kale learned counsel appearing for the respondents. 2. However, taking into consideration, the fact that, the appellant is State and time was required for taking permission from the Law and Judiciary Department, so also public money is involved in the appeals. Therefore, we are inclined to allow the applications. The applications are allowed. The delay is condoned. [ N. D. DESHPANDE, J.] [ B. R. GAVAI, J.] bsb/August 09
