Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the respondent. There is a delay of 85 days in filing the appeal and hence by the present application a prayer is made for condonation of delay. Appeal is challenging the award passed by MACT awarding compensation to the respondents. At the time of hearing of the application for stay, the learned counsel for the appellant fairly submitted that the appellant shall deposit the entire amount covered by the award in this court within three weeks from the date of the order, being 5-1-2009. The amount has been so deposited. The learned counsel for the respoondent raises an objection by pointing out that the entire amount 2 together with interest has not been deposited. This grievance can be considered at the time of admission. Hence for the reasons stated in the application the delay is condoned, application is disposed of. Fix the matter for admission. (A. P.
