The appeal is preferred by the original claimant. The appeal arises under the provisions of Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The land of the applicant was acquired and the Special Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation @ Rs.420/- per R. In reference, the compensation was enhanced to Rs.1000/- per R. In my opinion, though the applicant has not satisfactorily explained the delay, considering controversy raised in the appeal, the delay deserves to be condoned subject to payment of costs of Rs. 1000/- by the applicant tot he respondents within a period of six weeks from today. 4 Hence, the delay in filing the appeal stands condoned on condition of payment of costs of Rs.1000/- by the applicant to the respondents within a period of six weeks from today. If the costs of Rs.1000/- is not paid within the stipulated period, the civil application shall stand dismissed without reference to the Court.
