BORKAR.J. DATED : 06.04.2010 Heard Mr. S.N. Kendre, A.G.P. for the applicant. 2. This is an application for condonation of delay of 3298 days in filing the appeal against the judgment and award passed by the Joint Civil Judge,S.D. Ahmednagar in L.A.R. No. 505/1993 decided on 07-11-2000. The enhanced amount awarded by the Reference Court is Rs.2450/-. 3. It is stated that after decision 2 on 07-11-2000, the proposal was sent by the Law and Judiciary Department for filing the appeal to the office of the Government Pleader, High Court, Bench Aurangabad. Same was received by the office of Government Pleader on 21-01-2001 and thereafter, various correspondence was made between 2002 to 2009 and certified copies of the judgment and award were received on 16-01-2010. In the meantime, appeal was drafted in May 2003. Reliance was also placed in the case of Collector, Land Acquisition, Anantnag and another vs. Mst. Katiji and others (AIR 1987 SC 1353). 4. Absolutely, we do not get any reason for delay between May 2003 to January 2010. We wonder why for Government has wasted its energy, time 3 and money in a case, where the enhancement given to a farmer, whose land acquired was Rs.2450/-. The application is dismissed. 5. It is directed that Principal Secretary, Law and Judiciary Department, should look into the matter and ensure that time, energy of various agencies and of the Court is not wasted in such a way. 6. In view of the dismissal of application for condonation of delay, Civil Application No. 4500 of 2010 for stay, does not survive and hence, disposed of accordingly. [P.R. BORKAR,J.] sut/APR10/ca4499.10
