DATED: 4TH AUGUST, 2011 PER COURT:- 1 This is an application seeking condonation of delay of 5516 days occurred in presenting the appeal. The Judgment and award of the Reference Court was passed on 28.4.1995. In the year 1997, the Law and Judiciary department adopted a Resolution in respect of presentation of appeals and communicated the decision to the Government Pleader of this Court. However, the appeal came to be presented only in the year 2010 i.e. after a lapse of about 15 years from the date of judgment. There are absolutely no reasons recorded in the application justifying such a huge delay of more than 15 years in ca14673.10 -2- presenting the appeal. The application is devoid of substance, hence stands rejected. 2 Consequently, the appeal presented by the State need not be registered. The applicant State is entitled to get refund of court fees in accordance with Rules. ( R.M. BORDE. J.) rlj/
