NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 22ND SEPTEMBER, 2009 P.C.:- 1] The application seeks condonation of delay of 1596 days caused in filing of the Second Appeal. The delay is caused mainly because the appellant initially filed Writ Petition against the impugned order rejecting his application seeking condonation of delay in filing of the first appeal. Rather belatedly, the Writ Petition was disposed of with a liberty to file the present appeal. (2) CA. 3345.2009 2] The impugned order was passed on 23.9.2004. The writ petition was filed quite in time on 14.12.2004 and the same came to be disposed of on 19.9.2008. Thereafter, within reasonable time from that day, i.e. on 10.11.2008 the present appeal is filed. The delay deserves to be condoned. 3] The Civil Application is allowed. The Second Appeal (St.) no. 23185 of 2008 be placed on Board for admission on 13.10.2009. Sd/- (A.V. NIRGUDE, J.) arp
