FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 6192 OF 2005 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST.) NO. 8144 OF 2005 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ This application is for condonation of delay of 2335 days, caused in filing the appeal. The impugned judgment and award was passed on 4.9.1998. In the application, it is averred that the proposal was sanctioned by the Law and Judiciary Department, Aurangabad on 11.3.1999 and the said proposal was forwarded to the office of the Government Pleader and the office of the Government Pleader, had received the said proposal on 16.3.1999. The office of the Government Pleader issued communications on 24.3.1999, 10.7.2000, 19.9.2000, 18.1.2002, 6.11.2002, 15.11.2002 and finally on 5.4.2005. The appeal was eventually filed on 25.4.2005. In para 4 of the application, it is asserted that because of short man power and the heavy work load, the appeal could not be filed within time. On merits, perusal of the impugned judgment indicates that the Land Acquisition Officer awarded the compensation of Rs.2,670/- which was enhanced to Rs.16,204/- by the Reference court. Considering the quantum involved in the appeal as also the delay, which in my opinion, is not satisfactorily explained, this is not a fit case to condone the delay. Hence, civil application is rejected. (R.G. KETKAR, J.) Date:27.11.2009. rlj/
