This is an application for condonation of delay of 415 days in filing appeal against judgment and award passed by the 2nd Jt. Civil Judge, Senior Division, Latur, in L.A.R. No. 400 of 2004, decided on 20.11.2007. It is stated in the application that after judgment on 20.11.2007, concerned A.G.P. made proposal to the Law and Judiciary Department for filing appeal and the office of the Government Pleader received the sanction on 07.05.2008. However, the sanction order was not accompanied with certified copies of judgment and award, 2 true copies and difference chart. Therefore, the A.G.P. made communication to the authorities by letter dated 05.07.2008. Thereafter, on 23.01.2009 the difference chart was received and on 04.12.2008 the certified copies and true copies of judgment and award were received. The delay is of almost 1 ½ years. Various dates are given but it is not explained why there should have been so much delay and why certified copies were not applied for earlier. No reason is given for the delay. This Court also perused judgment of the Reference Court in order to satisfy that a meritorious matter is not being thrown out at the threshold. Not being satisfied with the reasons given, this application is dismissed. 2. In view of dismissal of application for condonation of delay, the civil application for stay does not survive and it is disposed of as such. [P.R. BORKAR,J.] snk/2010/APR10/ca4458.09
