Dated: 3 rd April, 2008. This is an application for condonation of delay in preferring second appeal. There is a delay of about 360 days. The appellant submits that he had handed over the papers to Shri B. R. Thakur for preparing an appeal before the appeal is preferred. It is stated that Shri Thakur fell ill 2 and was even hospitalised for long time. The appellant was under the impression that the appeal must have been filed. When circulation was sought it was found that appeal was not filed, therefore, the matter was entrusted to the present counsel and the appeal was filed. Application has been opposed by the respondent denying the allegations. It may be mentioned that the present application is supported by an affidavit of the Lawyer. Since the application is supported by the affidavit of the Lawyer himself there is no reason to doubt the veracity of the contention raised in the application. In view of this delay stands condoned.
