Heard Mr.Jakhade the learned advocate appointed by legal aid services for the applicant. 2. This is an application for condonation of delay of 1483 days in filing the appeal against the dismissal of the application for compensation by the Commissioner for Workman’s compensation. According to the applicant, the deceased Rasool Attar, who was husband of the applicant was a truck driver on the truck of the respondent no.1, which was insured with the respondent no.2. He died in an accident on 25-6-1998. Initially an application for compensation was filed before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal but it was withdrawn as the deceased was an employee of the respondent no.1 and thereafter, the application was filed before the :2: Commissioner for Workman’s Compensation. However, that application was rejected in spite of having come to the conclusion that the applicant was entitled to be compensated. According to the applicant, she, being a poor, was unable to engage any lawyer and, therefore, she could not file any appeal within time. Recently, she came to know that for the poor people, there is a facility of legal aid services and hence, she filed this application with the help of lawyer provided by legal aid services. Taking into consideration the circumstances, I am satisfied that in the interest of justice, delay should be condoned. 3. Therefore, delay is hereby condoned. Application stands disposed off. Appeal be registered and placed for admission. (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
