IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH FAO No. 4743 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 21.12.2010 Hardip Singh ...Appellant Versus Gurnam Kaur and another .....Respondents CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. S. M. Sharma, Advocate for the appellant. … RAJESH BINDAL, J. This is an appeal against the order of the Commissioner, Workmen Compensation Act (for short, `the Commissioner’) seeking enhancement of compensation. Along with the appeal, an application seeking condonation of delay of 1223 days in filing thereof has been filed. It is admitted in the application itself that certified copy of the order of the Commissioner was delivered to the counsel for the appellant on 16.5.2007. Still the appeal was filed in this court on 17.2.2010. There is no explanation as to why the appellant kept quiet almost for a period of 3 years. Considering the aforesaid facts, I do not find any ground to condone the huge delay of 1223 days in filing the appeal. Accordingly, the application is dismissed. Consequently the appeal is also dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) JUDGE 21.12.2010 sharmila
