IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 594 OF 2007 MRS. ZELIA PINTO ... Petitioner Versus MRS. ROSARY DIAS E FERNANDES ... Respondent Mr. Nitin Sardessai,Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. M.A.Fernandes,Advocate for the respondent. Coram:- S.A. BOBDE, J. Date:- 24th April, 2008 P.C. Heard. This writ petition is against the order of refusing to condone the delay for the period about 29 days in filing regular civil appeal. It is true that when the order was passed, the petitioner had not produced medical certificate and there can not be fault found with the order on that count. However, the learned Counsel for the petitioner now points out to the certificate of the Doctor which certifies that the petitioner was under medication and hospitalised on number of occasions during the period from November 2006 till March 2007 when the period of limitation ran out. Having regard to the age of the petitioner which is above 70 years and the fact that she was also not keeping well during that period by the death of her daughter-in-law, I consider it appropriate in the interest of justice and condone the delay and further direct that the appeal shall be heard on merits. S.A. BOBDE, J. SMA
