Shri Pokharkar,Adv.for Respondents in C.A.262,263. 264,266,268 of 2004. Shri Ghute Patil,Adv.for Respondents in C.A.267/04 .... CORAM : B.R. GAVAI & R.K.DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE : 21ST JULY, 2009. 1. These are Applications for condonation of delay in filing appeals challenging the award passed by the learned C.J.S.D.Latur in group of matters being L.A.R.No.328/88 and other References. 2. There is delay of 2042, 3183 and 2767 days in filing appeals. Shri Patil, learned A.G.P. submits that the delay was on the account that since the certified copy was not received alongwith proposals and thereafter, the arrangements for Court fees could not be made by the Government. He submits that in the interest of justice, it is necessary to condone the delay. 3. The application is vehemently opposed by learned counsel for the respondents. It is submitted that the delay is not at all properly explained and therefore, the applications should be rejected. 4. No doubt, there is inordinate delay in filing appeals. However, taking into consideration the fact that the appeals are preferred by the State and the amount of public exchequer is involved in the matter, we are inclined to allow the applications. Accordingly, Applications are allowed. Delay condoned. (R.K.DESHPANDE, J.) ( B. R. GAVAI, J. ) *** Dt:- 21/07/2009. umg/ca261-04
