The judgment and award under challenge is delivered on 30.11.2006. The Law & Judiciary Department of the State sanctioned the proposal for presenting appeals on 04.06.2007. Certified copies of the judgment and award were applied for and were received only after lapse of four years i.e. on 28.10.2010. However, the appeals were in fact presented only in the year 2011 i.e. on 04.05.2011. The delay of about 1526 days has not at all been satisfactorily explained. The applications are devoid of substance. 3 Even on consideration of merits of the matter, appeals do not deserve favourable consideration. The claimants are held entitled to receive paltry sum ranging between Rs.23,000/- to Rs.48,000/-. The applications seeking condonation of delay presented by the State, being devoid of substance, stands rejected. Consequently, the appeals need not be registered. The applicant-State is entitled to claim refund of court fee in accordance with rules. Pending Civil Applications do not survive and stand disposed of. R.M.BORDE JUDGE adb/ca681511
