FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 1918 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST.) NO.1976 OF 2001 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ This civil application is filed for condonation of delay of 125 days caused in filing the appeal. 2 Heard Shri Jadhav, learned A.G.P. in support of the application. Though respondents 1 to 3 are served, nobody appears for them. There is no affidavit in opposition. 3 In the application it is averred that the impugned judgment and award was was passed on 3rd May, 2000. The Law & Judiciary Department scrutinized the proposal and forwarded the same to the office of the Government Pleader on 7tht September, 2000 for filing appeal and the appeal was eventually filed on 29th January, 2001. 4 On merits, it is submitted that the Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation of Rs.35,280/- which was enhanced by the reference Court to Rs.89,768/-. Considering the quantum involved in the appeal and also considering the fact that though the respondents 1 to 3 are served, they are not contesting the application, in my opinion, the applicant has made out sufficient cause for condoning the delay. Hence, civil application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (B) of the application with no order as to costs. (R.G. KETKAR, J.) 04.12.2009. PLK/*
