RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) C.M.No.7500-CI of 2011 There is delay of 840 days in filing the present regular first appeal. The ground taken by the applicant-appellant is that reference was decided by learned Additional District Judge, Ropar, on 6.11.2008 and, however, copy was applied by the concerned District Attorney on 6.3.2010. There is no explanation whatsoever as to why copy was applied after expiry of 1-1/2 years from the date of pronouncement of judgment by learned Additional District Judge. Perusal of certified copy attached with this appeal shows that copy was prepared on 9.3.2010 and the same was delivered on 13.3.2010 and thereafter the present appeal was filed on 24.5.2011. Hence, even if, all the averments made in the application and the affidavit filed on behalf of the applicant-appellant-State are taken to be correct, no ground, what to talk of sufficient ground is made out for C.M.No.7500-CI of 2011 in RFA No.3286 of 2011(O&M) -2- condoning the inordinate delay of 840 days in filing the present appeal.
