The petitioner has filed an application for condonation of delay in filing appeal. That delay has been condoned subject to the condition that the petitioner deposits an amount of Rs.70,000/- within one month. The petitioner admittedly has not complied with the order and he challenges the order contending that the condition of deposit is harsh. The appeal is against a money decree.

Petition is rejected. . Parties to act on copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary as true copy. . Certified copy expedited. --------------
