Court's or Judges Order =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- C ORAM : C.L.PANGARKAR, J. DATED : 12th October, 2009. Heard Mr.P.S.Tiwari, learned counsel for the appellant and Mr.Sohoni, learned counsel for the respondents. This application has been filed for condonation of delay in preferring the appeal. The decision was rendered by the District Judge on 29/3/2005. An application for obtaining the certified copy itself was made on 4/6/2007. Copy was delivered on 7th June, 2007 and thereafter the appeal has been filed in June, 2007. It is the contention of the appellant that he is 70 years old and was ailing and therefore, could not file the appeal within limitation. The application is opposed by the respondents. It 2 is the contention of the respondents that the contentions as raised in the applications are patently false. The certificate filed on record which is dated 26/2/2005 shows that the appellant was ailing from 26/2/2005 to 1/6/2007. One wonders as to how the doctor is certifying that appellant was under treatment from 26/2/2005 to 1/6/2007 on 26/2/2005. It is apparent therefore that the certificate is false. Therefore, the contentions raised in the application in the proof of such certificate must be assumed to be false. The law is well settled that the court can condone the delay of any length provided sufficient cause is shown but it cannot condone the delay even of a single day when no sufficient cause is shown. In this case the contentions themselves are totally false. It cannot be said that the applicant/appellant was prevented from filing the appeal due to sufficient cause. The application is, therefore, rejected. JUDGE. Chute 3
