MC 3026/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE H.BARUAH M.C. No. 3026/2010 in MFA No. /2010. Heard Mr. R. Goswami, learned counsel for the appellant. Also heard Mr. P.K. Dek a, learned counsel for the respondent. Having prayed for condoning the delay of 7 days in preferring the connected appe al (not numbered till date) against the judgment ad award dated 17.5.2010 passed by the learned Commissioner, Workmen Compensation in WC Case No. 44/2008 the pe titioner has filed this application u/s. 5 of the Loimitation Act, 1963 praying for condonation of delay of 7 days. It has been contended that in the petition d elay of 7 days occurred as a result of communication and also on account of abse nce of the counsel. Objection is filed by the respondent contending inter-alia t hat delay in preferring the delay application is not properly explained and ther efore delay so occurred cannot be condoned and the application therefore be dism issed. I have meticulously gone through the objection raised by the learned counsel for the respondent. Since there is delay of 7 days only and there are grounds for filing such an appeal, delay of 7 days is accordingly condoned. Misc. case is disposed of.
