BORKAR,J. DATED : 19.07.2010 1. Heard Adv. Shri U.S. Malte for the applicants and Adv. Shri M.K. Goyanka for the sole respondent. 2. This is an application for condonation of delay of 2256 days in filing cross-objection and to allow to file cross-objection. 3. The facts giving rise to this application are as below :- . So far as application for the delay is concerned, the present applicants are original claimants, who filed death claim for Rs. 5 lakhs and compensation of Rs. 3,70,936/- was allowed. Thereafter, the appeal was filed by original respondent M.S.R.T.C. 2 The appeal came to be admitted on 12.12.2002, on which date the present applicant/claimant had engaged advocate. It is also no more disputed that in 2003, present respondent M.S.R.T.C. Deposited 50% amount in the Court and by order dated 12th March, 2003, 2/5th amount was allowed to be released and remaining amount was directed to be kept in fixed deposits. 4. After going through the papers, I am not satisfied with the reasons given for delay of 2256 days in approaching this Court for filing the Cross-objection. The advocate was already engaged and the order of admission of the appeal was passed long back. There is abnormal delay, which cannot be condoned as a matter of course. 5. In the result, the application stands dismissed. [P.R. BORKAR, J.] snk/2010/JUL10/ca6412.09
