1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 506 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST.) NO. 22033 OF 2006 The State of Maharashtra & Anr ...Applicants Versus Gopal Madhukar Patil and others ...Respondents ..... Mr. N.N. Jadhav, AGP advocate for the applicants ..... CORAM: R.G. KETKAR, J. DATED: 5TH NOVEMBER, 2009 PER COURT:- 1 The applicants have taken out this civil application for condonation of delay of 293 days caused in filing appeal. The appeal is directed against the judgment and award dated 17.8.2005 passed by the learned Joint C.J.S.D. at Jalgaon. An application for certified copy was made on 26.8.2005 and the certified copies were delivered to the applicants on 28.10.2005. The Law and Judiciary department sanctioned the proposal and forwarded the same to the office of the Government Pleader on 13.4.2006. In para 3 of the application, it is asserted that certified copy of the judgment and award, different chart 2 and typed copy of the judgment and order were prepared and submitted to the office of the Government Pleader on 6.7.2006 and the present appeal was filed on 6.11.2006. Notice was issued on this civil application and though the respondents are duly served, they have neither put in any appearance nor they have filed any affidavit in opposition. 2 I have heard Shri Jadhav, learned AGP in support of this application. He submitted that registration of the case was refused on 5.12.2006. Thereafter, civil application was taken out for setting aside that order and for restoration of the matter. That civil application was allowed on 4.9.2007. He further submitted that the Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation of Rs.21,859/- and the Reference Court awarded compensation of Rs.95,625/-. 3 After hearing learned AGP for the State and after considering the assertions made in the application, in my opinion, sufficient cause is made out for condonation of delay. Hence, civil application is allowed in terms of prayer clause "B" with no order as to costs. (R.G.KETKAR, J.) rlj/
