DATE : 5TH FEBRUARY, 2008 P.C. . This is a Notice of Motion for condoning a delay of 291 days in filing of the main appeal. Perusal of the affidavit in support indicates that the file was sent to the Ministry of Law for drafting an appeal memo on 8th November, 2004 and the draft was received in August, 2005. A period of nine months for drafting an appeal memo cannot 2 be said to be reasonable. In our view, therefore, the cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause and hence, the Notice of Motion stands dismissed. (R.S.MOHITE, J.) (F.I.REBELLO, J.)
