This is an application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal against the order passed by the reference Court in the reference for enhancement of compensation amount. According to him, because of heavy rains and loss of crop and other calamities, he was unable to file the appeal within time. It appears that under the same notification, number of lands were acquired and references were also made. Some matters have already been admitted, particularly First Appeal No.328 of 2008 arising out of the same matter has been admitted by this Court by order dated 20.2.2008. In view of this, no inconvenience will be caused to the respondents if delay is condoned and appeal is admitted. 2. Therefore, in the interest justice, the application is allowed and the delay is condoned. (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
