1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR C.A.NO. 8018 OF 2008 IN FA ST. NO. 16853/2008 (Prabhakar Tukaramji Samartha vs. Vidyadhar Narayan Admane & Ors.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. MARCH 25, 2009. Heard Shri Kaptan, Advocate for the applicant/ appellant. The prayer is to condone delay of 493 days in filing First Appeal. The reason given is that the appellant / defendant was not opposed to giving sisters their due share in partition suit. However, later on he learnt that by applying provisions of amended Hindu Succession Act, share in excess of their legal entitlement has been given and hence appeal has been preferred. Shri Khadgi, learned counsel for respondents No. 1 to 4 and Mrs. Dhole, learned counsel for respondents No. 6, 8 & 9 are strongly opposing the prayer for condonation of delay. They contend that the reason put forth is clearly by way of after thought. I have perused the affidavit as also the 2 reply to the application, opposing prayer for condonation of delay. I do not find any malafides in the matter, the delay is, therefore, condoned. The office to register First Appeal. List the appeal for admission on 15th April 2009. JUDGE *GS.
