1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. C.A. No.6172/2007 in LPA St. No.9665/07 Gandhi Shikshan Sanstha, Dhapewada Vs. Shri Govind Giridharrao Shete and another Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE & R. V. MORE, JJ. DATED : 25th October, 2007 Heard Mr. Shende, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Ghate, learned counsel for respondent no.1. None for respondent no.2 though served. The appellant seeks condonation of delay of 77 days on the ground that they were busy in Z.P. Elections and, therefore, they could not take steps for filing LPA against the impugned order. Mr. Ghate, learned counsel for respondent no.1 has opposed the application and has placed reliance upon judgment of Apex Court reported in AIR 1998 S.C. 2276 (P. K. Ramachandran Vs. State of Kerala and another) in support of his submission that if no satisfactory explanation for inordinate delay is 2 not given, delay cannot be sustained. We find that reason given by the appellant that they were busy in Z.P. elections is not a valid reason for condoning the delay. Accordingly, we hold that the no case is not made out by the appellant for condoning the delay. Hence, the application is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE MLA.
