MC 1188/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY It appears from the office note dated 02.11.2011 that the notices for se rvice on the respondent Nos.1 to 6 were issued by registered post with A/D on 01 .11.2011. The respondent No.1 has already entered appearance through the learned c ounsel. The other respondents, however, have not been entered appearance and nei ther the A/D cards nor the un-served notices have returned. Since more than 30 days have elapsed from the date of issuance of such n otices but neither the A/D cards nor the un-served notices have returned, the no tices on the respondent Nos.2 to 6 are deemed to be served. Heard the learned counsel for the appearing parties. The applicant by the present application is praying for condonation of d elay of 239 days in preferring the appeal challenging the award passed by the le arned Tribunal. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and upon consideration of the averments made in the application, I am of the view that the applicant wa s prevented by sufficient cause in not filing the appeal in time. Hence th e delay occurred in filing the appeal is condoned. Misc. case stands allowed.
