Shri N.N. Jadhav, learned AGP, in support of his application. this application taken out for condonation of delay of 855 days in filing the appeal. The appeal is directed against the judgment and order dated 18-04-2006 passed by the Ad hoc Additional District Judge, Udgir in Land Acquisition Reference No. 1950/2001. In the application it is avererd that Law & Judiciary Department sanctioned the proposal and forwarded to the office of Government Pleader on 10th of July 2006, applicant applied for certified copies which was ready and delivered on 13-02-2007. The certified copy of the judgement and order, typed copies and different chart were prepared and submitted to the office of Government Pleader on 17-03-2007. The appeal is actually filed on 17-11-2008. There is no explanation offered for the period from 17-03-2007 to 17-11-2008. That -2- apart Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation of Rs. 1250/- to the respondent and Reference Court enhanced said amount to Rs.5910/-.,considering the quantum involved in the First Appeal as also the delay occurred in filing the appeal, in my opinion this is not a fit case for condoning the delay. Even on merits the Reference Court had awarded exorbitant compensation to the respondent. In view of this Civil Application is rejected with no order to costs. (R.G. KETKAR, J.) Date:18.11.2009.
