CA/13334/2008 In FAST/24740/2008 WITH CA/13335/2008 In FAST/24719/2008 --------------------------------------------------- Office notes, office Memoranda of Court’s or Coram,appearances, Court’s orders Judge’s or directions and Registrar’s orders Orders Mrs. S.B.Wadmare, AGP for the applicant. ... CORAM : K.U. CHANDIWAL, J. DATED : 6th July, 2009 ... P.C.:- 1. Heard learned A.G.P. The State feels aggrieved by the order of learned Reference Court in LAR Nos.924/2002 and 925/2002 dt. 23.10.2007 and seeks to condone dealy of 323 days in causing to file the appeal. The State asserts that due to the official formalities, the delay has occasioned. Incidentally, I have gone through the order under challenge of the learned Reference Court, making enhancement to the tune of Rs.1,85,213/- for acquisition of the suit land with interest at the rate of 9 per cent per annum from the date of possession 2 for one year and, thereafter, at the rate of 15 per cent from 15.2.1988. Though the official formalities by itself should not be a ground to condone the delay, I find that the State’s grievance needs consideration looking to the quantum involved and other identical matters to be dealt with. Consequently, the delay being properly explained, it is condoned. Applications allowed. (K.U. CHANDIWAL) JUDGE agp/ca13334-08
