DATED :- FEBRUARY 22 2011. P.C. This is an Application for condonation of delay in filing the Appeal. Heard Shri Oka, learned counsel for the Applicant and Shri C.S. Joshi for the Respondent. There is a delay of 47 days in filing the appeal. 2. Shri C.S. Joshi, the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondent vehemently opposes the Application. He submits that reasons 2 caf1921.10.sxw given in the Application are not bonafide. He further submits that ignorance of law is not an excuse to a litigant and a lawyer and,therefore, the ground raised in the Application regarding the period of limitation is without any substance. 3. However, taking into consideration that delay is only of 47 days and the dispute is between two trusts, I am inclined to allow the Application. Delay is condoned. Application is allowed. (B.R. GAVAI, J)
