REIS, JJ. DATED : JULY 6, 2009. CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 7257/08 : This is an application for condonation of delay of the period of 167 days in preferring this appeal. The delay appears to have been mainly caused due to the departmental procedures for obtaining consent for filing an appeal from Law & Judiciary Department. The delay appears to be procedural in nature but some part of it is due to apparent inaction and want of due diligence. Important rights of the parties are involved. There appear to be no malafides in the matter. In the circumstances of the case, there appears to be sufficient cause for condoning the delay. However, in view of the circumstances in which the delay was caused, such as late application for certified copy and unduly long period consumed for granting sanction to the appeal, we condone the delay subject to 2 payment of costs in the sum of Rs.5000/- in favour of High Court Legal Services Sub-Committee, Nagpur. The application stands disposed of. Copy of the order authenticated by P.S. may be furnished to the parties to act upon. JUDGE JUDGE. J.
