Kendre, A.G.P. for the applicant/State. CORAM : R.M. BORDE, J. DATED : 01.08.2011 P.C. :- 1. These are applications seeking condonation of delay of 1013 days in presenting the appeals. The judgment was delivered by the Reference Court in these matters on 28.03.2007. The proposal was received by the Office of the Government Pleader in respect of filing of the appeals on 01.08.2007. However, the appeals were actually filed on 04.08.2010 i.e. after more than 3 years. There is absolutely no explanation in respect of occurrence of delay of more than four years in presenting the appeals. The reasons given in the applications for presenting the appeals late are not at all convincing. The applications are devoid of substance and hence stand rejected. 2. In view of rejection of applications seeking condonation of delay, the appeals need not be registered. ( 3 ) ca12119.10 The appellant/State would be entitled to refund of Court fees in accordance with the rules. 3. All pending Civil Applications stand disposed of. [R.M.
