IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO 554 OF 2008 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST) NO 673 OF 2008 The New India Assurance Co Ltd .. Petitioners V/s. 1. Smt. Anjali Prashant Ravan & Ors .. Respondents CORAM : U.D.SALVI, J. DATED : FEBRUARY 13th,2009. P.C. 1. Heard. Perused the application and compilations therewith. Delay of 121 days in preferring First Appeal against the judgment and award dated 16.05.2007 passed by Ld. Adhoc District Judge and Member MACT Sangli in MACP No. 137 of 2005 appears to have occurred due to lengthy bureaucratic process and inter organizational communication gap. However, the amount of award has been deposited by the Appellant and the Respondent No. 1 Smt. Anjali P. 1 Ravan, a victim of accident has also preferred First Appeal for enhancement of the amount award. It would, therefore, be just and proper to condone the delay and allow the Appellant to contest its claim. 2. Delay in preferring the Appeal is condoned. First Appeal be numbered. Admit. [U.D.SALVI, J.] 2
