By this Notice of Motion, the Appellant is seeking condonation of 575 days delay caused in filing the above Appeal. Perused the Notice of Motion and Affidavit in support thereof. It appears that the approval was granted for filing the Appeal on 8th November,2005 and the file was sent for drafting the Appeal on 9th November,2005. The last date for filing the Appeal was 9th December,2005. However, the same has been filed on 6th July,2007 i.e. after a lapse of almost 18 months. The only reason given for the said delay is, that due to administrative difficulties the Appeal could not be filed in time. We are not satisfied with the reasons given for causing such a gross delay. No sufficient cause is made out for condoning the delay. Hence, the Notice of Motion stands dismissed. :2: 2. In view of the dismissal of the Notice of Motion, the above Appeal also stands disposed of. (J.P.DEVADHAR,J.) (J.P.DEVADHAR,J.) (J.P.DEVADHAR,J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,J.) (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,J.)
