AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) CM No.2934-C of 2009 For the reasons mentioned in the application, delay of 38 days in refiling the appeal is condoned. CM stands disposed of. CM No.2935-C of 2009 For the reasons mentioned in the application, delay of 75 days in filing the appeal is condoned. CM stands disposed of. RSA No.1003 of 2009 This appeal has been filed against the concurrent judgments of the Courts below decreeing the suit of the respondent-plaintiff claiming retiral benefits and balance amount CM No.2934-35-C of 2009 & RSA No.1003 of 2009 -2- of gratuity with interest of her deceased husband. The following questions have been proposed: i) Whether the ld. Civil Judge (Sr. Div.) rightly decreed the suit in the absence of evidence? ii)Whether the suit is time barred? It would be seen that both the questions are pure questions of fact. Learned counsel has not been able to persuade me that the findings recorded on these issues are either based on no evidence or are based on such misreading of evidence so as to render them perverse. Consequently this appeal is dismissed. October 14, 2009 (AJAY TEWARI) sonia JUDGE
