In paragraph no.5, it is only stated that delay is not caused intentionally but due to unavoidable circumstances, without even mentioning what the unavoidable circumstances were. In the absence of any reasons given for condonation of delay, the application cannot be granted. Accordingly, the civil application is dismissed. (D.G. KARNIK, J) (D.G. KARNIK, J) (D.G. KARNIK, J)
