This is an application for condonation of delay of 68 days in filing the first appeal challenging the order dated 17/7/2009 passed by the Labour Court in Application (W.C.) No. 45 of 2005. The main ground for the delay is on account of administrative reasons as according to the applicant the Head Office of the applicant is at Mumbai and delay is occasioned to seek necessary sanction to prefer the appeal. The learned Counsel for the respondents vehemently opposed the prayer of the applicant on the ground that the amount awarded has not been deposited, in accordance with law. In the facts and circumstance of the case as no mala fides are attributed to the applicant, delay of 68 days in filing the first appeal is condoned subject to applicant/appellant's payment of costs Rs. 1,000/- (rupees one thousand only) to respondents No. 1 and 2 within fifteen days from today. The application stands disposed of accordingly. JUDGE wwl
