These are applications for condonation of delay of 762 days in filing first appeals by the State Government against the judgment and award passed in group of Land Acquisition Reference, decided by the Adhoc District Judge-3, Latur, on 21.11.2007. It is stated that after the decision, the Law and Judiciary Department took decision and informed about preparing appeals on 07.05.2008 to the office of the Government Pleader. The Government Pleader’s office prepared drafts of appeals on 03.06.2008. However, thereafter, the certified copies and typed copies were 2 received on 29.08.2008. Thereafter, the difference charts were received on 11.12.2009. It is not explained why this could not be prepared by Office of Government Pleader and why it required 16 months. But, inspite of that, immediately no steps were taken to file appeals and ultimately the appeals were filed on 22.03.2010. 2. Not being satisfied with the reasons given for the delay, the applications for condonation of delay are dismissed. Moreover, in some cases the amounts enhanced are very small and therefore there is also bar of Section 96 (4) of the C.P.C. 3. In view of dismissal of applications for condonation of delay, the applications for stay do not survive and they are disposed of as such. 4. Issue Court fees refund certificate as per rules. [P.R.
