DHARMADHIKARI AND F.M. REIS, JJ. DATED : SEPTEMBER 01, 2009. Heard Shri A.B. Patil, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Jaiswal, learned Counsel holding for Shri A.M.Ghare, learned Counsel for respondent no.1 and learned A.G.P. for respondent nos. 2 and 3. Prayer is to condone delay of 147 days in filing First Appeal. Learned A.G.P. has no objection. However, the learned counsel appearing for respondent no.1 is strongly opposing the prayer. He states that reply has been prepared and he seeks time to place it on record. However, we have verified contents from him and we do not find any specific stand in the reply. Administrative compliances are disclosed as reason for delay. This Court has in several matters condoned delay in similar circumstances. We do not find any malafides in the matter hence, delay is condoned. 2 Civil Application is accordingly allowed. Office to register First Appeal and place it for further consideration. JUDGE JUDGE Rgd.
