Haribhau Vithal Mungaji & ors. Applicants Vs. State of Maharshtra Respondent Mr.Sachin Punde for applicants. Mr.A.R.Patil, AGP for State. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & D.G.KARNIK,JJ. February 27, 2009. P.C. . Heard Mr.Punde, the learned counsel for the applicants. Mr.Patil, the learned AGP appears for the State. . In First Appeal No.818 of 1995 filed by the applicants, Appellant No.4 died on 11/8/1998 and hence this application to bring his LRs on record. . As per the office note the appeal is beyond time by 8 years and 372 days. The only reason furnished in support of the prayer for condonation of 2 delay is on account of illiteracy and their ignorance about steps to be taken for bringing the LRs on record. We have also noted that the connected appeals have been decided by a common judgment dated 18/7/2001. . Hence we are satisfied that the delay caused in filing this application deserved to be condoned but subject to levying costs. . Hence delay condoned on the condition that an amount of Rs.500/- shall be remitted by way of costs to the Maharashtra State Legal Services Authority within two weeks. . The application is allowed in terms of prayer clauses (B) and (C). (D.G.KARNIK,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
