1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 3970 OF 2008 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST) NO. 8431 OF 2008 (The National Insurance Co. Ltd. .v. Warlu Madhao Kudsange and others) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri A.R. Godbole, Advocate for the appellant. Shri H.N. Potbhare, Advocate for the respondent Nos.1 and 2. CORAM : PRASANNA B. VARALE, J. 24TH FEBRUARY, 2009. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the respective parties. This is an application for condonation of delay. The delay is of 2424 days. The reasons for the delay in filing the appeal are at paragraphs 2, 3 and 4. The learned Counsel for the applicant submits that from the office record it was revealed that the cover note was issued by the Goa Office and the vehicle insured under the cover note was a two wheeler whereas the vehicle involved in the accident was a truck and as there was some discrepancy in the vehicle and because of some procedural aspects, the delay occurred. It was also submitted by the learned Counsel that the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal was 2 challenged by filing review petition and under bona fide mistake the review was filed. The learned Counsel for the respondent Nos.1 and 2 vehemently opposes the application for condonation of delay. In my opinion, in the interest of justice, it will be appropriate to condone the delay. Hence, the delay is condoned. Civil Application is allowed. CIVIL APPLICATION (ST) NO. 8434 OF 2008 Shri H.N. Potbhare, the learned Counsel for the respondent Nos.1 and 2 seeks time to file reply. Though the respondent No.3 is duly served, none appears on his behalf. S.O. to 17th March, 2009. JUDGE *rrg.
