This is an application filed by the State for condonation of delay of 470 days caused in filing the first appeal. The learned AGP submitted that the judgment and order was passed on 16.6.2008 and the learned AGP has given legal opinion to the Secretary, Law and Judiciary Department about filing of appeal. The Law and Judiciary department, Aurangabad after scrutiny had forwarded the proposal to the office of the Government Pleader, High Court, Bench at Aurangabad. Thereafter it took time to complete the process of drafting, annexing ca14657.10 -2- documents, getting approval and signatures of the concerned authority and due to the administrative difficulty and the reasons beyond control of the concerned department, the delay of 470 days is caused. The delay of 470 days is not an inordinate delay. Be that as it may, considering the submissions of the learned AGP, delay is condoned. However, the appellant is directed to pay costs quantified at Rs.1000/- to the respondents. Civil application is disposed of. (MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.) rlj/
