Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned counsel for the Respondents. 2. These are Civil Applications for condonation of delay in filing the First Appeals. Perusal of the award shows that the compensation has been enhanced multifold. The reasons stated in the Civil Applications for condonation of delay are that after the Government Pleader forwarded his opinion to the Law and Judiciary Department, it was scrutinised and thereafter a Resolution was passed to prefer appeals. The learned counsel for the Respondents opposes the Civil Applications. No affidavit has been filed by the Respondents denying the contentions and averments in the Civil Applications. Taking into account the reasons stated in the Civil Applications and on the basis of principle of non- traverse, as no affidavit is filed denying the contentions, the delay is condoned on payment of costs of Rs.3,000/- (Rupees three thousand) by the applicant to the Respondents in each Civil Application. The costs shall be paid within a period of eight (8) weeks from today. (S.V.GANGAPURWALA,J.) Dt.31.03.2010. asp/office/Ca986108
