1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO.196 OF 2009 IN FAMILY COURT APPEAL (ST) NO.17723 OF 2009. Pratibha Subhash Vaidya. ..Applicant. v/s. Subhash Shivlinga Vaidya. ..Respondent. .... Mr. M.R. Deshpande, for Applicant. Mrs. S.V. Deshmukh, for Respondent No.1. .... CORAM : S.A. BOBDE & S.J.KATHAWALLA, JJ. DATE : 3RD DECEMBER 2009. P.C. Heard. 2. This is an application for condonation of delay of a period of one year and 64 days in filing the present appeal. Though controverted, it seems that the delay was apparently caused due to paucity of funds. According to the applicant, she has no source of income. This position is controverted by the husband in the reply. The husband has emphasized the fact that he does not have the extent of income alleged by the wife. As regards the income of the applicant, the husband has stated that the applicant owes an ancestral house alongwith her four sisters 2 and receives Rs.6,000/- towards rent. 3. Having regard to the circumstances of the case, we find that there is no reason why the applicant would deliberately delay in filing such an application and may have had a temporary financial difficulty. In the circumstances, we condone the delay subject to pay the cost in the sum of Rs.1,000/-. 4. The civil application stands disposed of. [S.A. BOBDE, J.] [ S.J.KATHAWALLA, J. ]
