No.1687 of 2008 is an application for condonation of the delay in filing the appeal. Appellant is the State. It is seen that the requisitioning authority, namely, N.T.P.C., has filed an appeal, L.A.A. No.1210 of 2005, against the judgment and decree in L.A.R.No.33 of 2000, which is under challenge in this case also. The appellant will get liberty to take all available contentions in L.A.A.No.1210 of 2005, wherein the appellant is the second respondent. Hence it is unnecessary for the State to pursue this appeal independently. Therefore, the application for condonation of the delay in filing the appeal is dismissed. Consequently, the appeal is also dismissed. (KURIAN JOSEPH) Judge (K.T.SANKARAN) Judge ahz/
