Rakesh Kumar Jain, J, This is an application filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 for condonation of delay of 606 days in filing of the appeal. The applicant/appellant filed the appeal under Section 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act,1996 (for short,'the Act'), against order passed by the learned District Judge, Jalandhar dated 17.1.2008, whereby objection petition filed under Section 34 of the Act, against the arbitral award dated 08.5.2001, has been dismissed. Admittedly, the impugned order was passed by the learned District Judge, Jalandhar, on 17.1.2008. It is submitted that certified copy was prepared on 6.2.2008 and was taken on 16.2.2008. In order to file Appeal in this Court the , limitation is 90 days from the date of passing CM No.30329-CII of 2009 and -2- FAO No. 5843 of 2009 (O&M) of the impugned order after excluding the days spent in preparation of the certified copy. In case, if the limitation is to start from 16.2.2008, it expired on 15.5.2008. However, as per record, the appeal has been filed on 22.12.2009. No explanation whatsoever has been given in the application for condonation of delay which could constitute a sufficient cause for the purpose of condonation of delay. Hence, I do not find any merit in this application and as such the same is hereby dismissed. Consequently, the appeal is also dismissed. Sept 24,2010 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
