Heard learned A.G.P. for the applicants and learned counsel for the respondent. 2. By this application the State has prayed for condoning 16 years and 114 days delay in filing the appeal against the judgment and award dated 5.12.1987. Mr.Gaikwad, learned counsel, on instructions, submits that the respondent has received compensation long back and, therefore, the appeal has become infructuous. I have perused the application. Apart from the fact that the amount of compensation has already been paid to the respondent, the cause shown seeking condonation of delay, in my opinion, is not sufficient. Hence the application deserves to be dismissed. Order accordingly. Consequently, the first appeal and the civil application for stay so also the cross objection stand disposed of. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
