FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO.9535 OF 2007 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST.) NO. 19044 OF 2007 ________________________________________________________ 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 1322 days caused in filing the appeal. 2 Heard Shri Korde, learned A.G.P. in support of the application and Shri Sachin Deshmukh, learned Counsel for respondent. 3 The applicant has preferred appeal challenging the judgment and award dated 29th November, 2003 passed by the learned 1st Ad-hoc Addl. District Judge, Ambejogai in LAR No.55 of 1998. In the application it is averred that after the impugned judgment and award was passed on 29th November, 2003, application for certified copy was made on 19th March, 2004. The Law and Judiciary Department sanctioned proposal and forwarded the same to the office of the Government Pleader on 28th July, 2004. The certified copies of judgment and award were submitted on 21st December, 2006 and eventually, the appeal was filed on 10th October, 2007, resulting delay of 1322 days. 4 Against the very judgment and award, the applicant had preferred appeals wherein also there was delay of 993 days. By order dated 30th August, 2008 this Court (Coram: N.V. Dabholkar,J) considered the reasons in support of the application as also merits of the case. This Court held that the delay was not properly explained and the trial Court has not awarded exorbitant compensation. Accordingly, the civil applications were dismissed and State appeals were refused registration. 5 In the light of the aforesaid position, in my opinion, the applicant – State has not made out sufficient cause for condoning the delay. Civil Application accordingly, stands rejected. In view of rejection of civil application, first appeal stands dismissed. (R.G. KETKAR, J.) 09.12.2009. PLK/*
