In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh CM No. 2080-CII of 2009 and FAO No. 593 of of 2009 Date of decision: November 05, 2009 Sawaran Kaur and others .. Appellants Vs. Sahab Singh .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Pritam Saini, Advocate for the appellants. A.N. Jindal, J This appeal being time barred is accompanied by an application for condonation of 303 days delay in filing the appeal. The award was passed on 19.10.2007 and the certified copy of the order was applied on 31.10.2007, which was prepared on 12.11.2007 and delivered on 15.11.2007, whereas, this appeal was filed after one year i.e. on 28.11.2008. The only ground set up in the application is that the appellants being poor persons could not file. They were also not aware of the period for filing the appeal and they had also no money to spend. As a matter of fact, the appellants are not fair in their conduct because earlier the application was drafted when there was a delay of 293 days in filing the appeal, later on, it was corrected to 303 days. Mere fact that the appellants are poor persons is no sufficient ground to condone the delay. Consequently, the application for condonation of delay is dismissed. Resultantly, the appeal also fails.
