1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR. Civil application No. 8324/2008 in First Appeal St.No. 15272/2008 ( Khemchandji S. Visvakarma and ors. .vs. Gurumukhsingh Bhaisan and one ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders. and Registrar's orders ======================================= .......... CORAM : K.J. ROHEE, J. DATED : DECEMBER 03, 2008 1. Ms. Smita Dongre, Advocate holding for Mr. P.S. Mirche, Advocate for the appellants prays for keeping the matter back as her senior is not present. The prayer is rejected. 2. The ground on which condonation of delay is sought is that the the appellants had no knowledge about the law of limitation and hence they could not contact the lawyer within time. Another reason is that the financial condition of the appellants is not good. So far as the first reason is concerned, ignorance of law is no excuse and as such it cannot be a ground to condone delay. In respect of the second ground, there is no evidence whatsoever to show that the financial condition of the appellants is poor. Hence I do not find any cause much less sufficient cause to condone 2 delay. The application for condonation of delay is, therefore, rejected. JUDGE halwai
