THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL NO.1103 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: The appellant-Union Bank of India has filed this appeal against the order, dated 27.01.2010 in M.A.No.28 of 2009 in O.A. II (U) No.30 of 2009 on the file of the Railway Claims Tribunal, Secunderabad Bench at Secunderabad, vide which the delay of 739 days in filing the claim application by the respondents/applicants, was allowed on payment of Rs.2000/-. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant/bank contended that as there is an abnormal delay of 739 days in filing the claim application, the same cannot be condoned; that the delay has not been properly explained by the applicants and hence, he prays set aside the impugned order. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents/applicants contended that claimant No.2 is minor and aged about 13 years; that whereas claimant No.1 was an illiterate widow; that the Tribunal after considering all these aspects, condoned the delay and hence, there are no grounds to interfere with the impugned order and hence, he prays to dismiss the appeal. 4. It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the petition that the delay has occurred due to mental shock to claimant No.1 and she could not obtain the documents from various departments after demise of her husband. As the applicants have given sufficient reason for condonation of delay, the Tribunal rightly allowed the application. Therefore, the impugned order does not suffer from any infirmities so as to call for interference by this Court. 5. Accordingly, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA NOVEMBER 17, 2011 YVL IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL NO.1103 OF 2011 Between: Union of India …APPELLANT AND Kuppaji Suguna and another. ...RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL NO.1103 OF 2011 17.11.2011 YVL
