Versus Solapur Janta Sahakari Bank Ltd & Others. ..Respondents. Mr. Satyajeet M. Mirajkar for the petitioner. Coram : RANJIT MORE, J. Date : March 16, 2011. P. C. : 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petition takes exception to the order dated 1/7/2009 passed by the Maharashtra State Co-operative Appellate Court, Mumbai, Bench at Pune in Miscellaneous Application No.89 of 20087 whereby the said application preferred by the petitioner for condonation of delay of 8 years and 25 days is rejected. 2. Respondent no.1 filed Dispute No.371 of 1997 against Respondent Nos.2 to 7 and the petitioner for recovery of loan amount. The award was passed by the Co-operative Court, Solapur on 19.7.2000 thereby respondent nos. 3, 4, 6 and Shriram Construction, Solapur were directed to pay a sum of Rs.5,52,554/- alongwith interest @16% p.a. on principal amount of Rs.5 lacs. The petitioner alongwith other respondents were discharged from srp -: 2 :- liability. This order is challenged by the petitioner by filing an appeal before the Co-operative Appellate Court after the delay of 8 years of 25 days. The petitioner also filed an application for condonation of delay, which as stated earlier, is rejected by the order impugned in this petition. 3. Apart from the fact that the petitioner has not given any explanation for condonation of long delay, the petitioner could not be said to be aggrieved by the Co-operative Court’s order. The Appellate Court has rightly rejected the petitioner’s application for condonation of delay. I do not find error in the impugned order. Hence, writ petition is dismissed. (RANJIT MORE, J.)
