DATE : 5TH AUGUST 2009. COURT'S ORDER : 1. These applications are filed by the applicants, original claimants, for condonation of delay in filing the First Appeals. The delay in filing the appeals is as under : First Appeal Delay in days First Appeal Stamp No. 18276/2007 240 days First Appeal Stamp No. 19643/2007 248 days First Appeal Stamp No. 18094/2007 1108 days First Appeal Stamp No. 18908/2007 1118 days First Appeal Stamp No. 23438/2007 304 days First Appeal Stamp No. 23580/2007 304 days First Appeal Stamp No. 1856/2008 405 days First Appeal Stamp No. 2246/2008 1231 days First Appeal Stamp No. 24099/2007 248 days First Appeal Stamp No. 1858/2008 405 days ( 7 ) 2. The reason given in the application is that even after the award was passed by the Land Acquisition Officer and the Reference Court, the compensation is not yet paid to the claimants. It is, therefore, submitted that the applicants were required to make arrangements for funds for paying the court fees and the legal expenses. 3. It could thus be seen that the delay caused in filing the appeals is not deliberate. The applicants were prevented from filing the appeals within the prescribed limitation due to the reasons beyond their control. In any event, it is to be noted that the appeals filed by the acquiring body are already admitted by this court. 4. In that view of the matter, the Civil Applications are allowed. Delay is condoned.
