Family Court Appeal under (Stamp) No. 14118 of 2010 has been filed belatedly and hence this application for condonation of delay. 2. As per the office note the appeal is beyond time by 169 days and the reasons for condonation of delay have been set out in para 2 of the application. 2 Cam218-10 3. The learned counsel for the respondent has opposed the application and submitted that the applicant has failed to make out a case of good and sufficient reasons to condone the delay. 4. We are, therefore, satisfied that the delay caused in filing the Family Court Appeal deserves to be condoned, but on conditions. 5. Hence the delay is condoned and the application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) subject to payment of costs quantified at Rs. 2000/- and to be paid to the respondent-wife within two weeks from today. 4. List the Appeal for admission on 6.1.2011. (U.D. SALVI, J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
