CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED: 10/07/2008 P.C.: Heard Mrs Mulekar, learned AGP for the Applicant-State. All these Civil Applications have been moved by the Applicant-State Government for condonation of the delay caused in filing Appeals against a common Judgment and Award passed by the learned 12th Ad-hoc Addl.District Judge at Pune, in Land A.Reference No.476 of 1998 and other connected References arising from the very same acquisition notice. As per the office note, the Appeals have been filed beyond time by 164 days. We have noted that the Award was passed on 30.7.2005 and despite the Office of the District Government Pleader has submitted an application on 1.8.2005 for certified copy of the Award the same was received only on 19.1.2006. The proposal to file an appeal was sent to the Law and Judiciary Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai on or about 19.4.2006 and, thereafter, a letter was sent to the acquiring body asking for requisite court fees on 7.7.2006 after the Law and Judiciary Department advised to file appeals on 7.7.2006. Simultaneously a letter was sent to the District Government Pleader asking for copies of the decree and the same were received by the office of the Government Pleader on 2.8.2006. On the next date, the Appeals were assigned to the concerned A.G.P and the Appeals have been filed on 11.8.2006. We are, therefore, satisfied that the explanation furnished makes out good and sufficient reasons to condone the delay. Hence, the delay condoned and the applications are allowed accordingly.
