1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CIVIL JURISDICTION C.A.F NO.5406 OF 2007 IN FIRST APPEAL Stamp NO.22434 OF 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda Court’s or Judge’s of Coram, appearances, Court’s Orders orders or directions and Registrar’s orders. ------------------------------------------------------------- Mr.C.M.Lokesh i/by. Mr.G.S.Hegde for the appellant. Mr.T.N.Tripathi for the respondent. CORAM : ANOOP V. MOHTA,J. DATED : 03.06.2008 P.C. This is an application for condonation of delay in filing the present first appeal arising out of the order passed by Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal. There is delay of 99 days as per office note. The learned counsel for the claimant-respondent submitted that there is no explanation whatsoever coming forward from the Appellant specially with regard to 99 days whereby the Appellant wanted to collect the amount for court fees 2 and further necessary approvals from the officers. The Appellant being MSRTC, the approval for filing appeal is normal practice and, therefore, such approval always takes some time though it should not have taken this much time. Yet in the interest of justice, I am inclined to grant this application in terms of prayers (a) and (b). However, it is subject to paying cost of Rs.2000/- to be paid within four weeks as a condition precedent. Appeal be placed for admission after registration. [ANOOP [ANOOP [ANOOP V. MOHTA,J.] V.
