This is a motion for condoning 584 days delay in filing of the appeal. On perusal of the affidavit in support, we find that the brief was sent to the Panel Counsel for drafting appeal memo on 15.5.2007 and the draft was returned in July-2008. A period of more than one year and two months for drafting appeal memo cannot be said to be reasonable. Hence, cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause. Therefore, motion stands dismissed. Consequently appeal papers to be filed. Refund of court fees as per rules. (R.S.Mohite,J) (F.I.Rebello,J)
