Mr. Deepak Balyan, Advocate, for respondent no. 3. Rajesh Bindal J. There is an application for condonation of 1870 days' delay in filing the regular first appeal. The land of the applicant was acquired and on a reference made by the Land Acquisition Collector under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the award was given by the learned Additional District Judge, Hisar on 31.1.2002. It is against this award that the present appeal was to be filed. Reason given for condoning the delay is that other land owners had filed appeals which are pending before this court and the appellant was under the impression that his appeal has also been filed. It cannot be treated as a good ground for condoning such a substantial delay. No ground for condonation of delay is made out. The application for condonation of delay as well as the main appeal are dismissed. 25.8.2008 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
