1 Appln.: 1597/2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO.1597 OF 2009 Maharashtra State Road Transport .... Applicant Corporation, Mumbai Vs. Smt. Prapti Milind Vanage & Ors. .... Respondents Mr. Lokesh with Mr. G.S. Hegde, Advocate for applicant. Mr. Rohan Darandale, Advocate for respondents. Mr. Sunil Dattatray Date, Law Officer, MSRTC present. Coram : Smt. R.P.SondurBaldota, J. Date : 11th March, 2011 P.C. 1. This application is for condonation of delay in filing the first appeal to challenge the judgment and order dated 9th September 2008. There is delay of 91 days in filing the appeal. The application is opposed by respondents submitting that it does not contain any ground muchless satisfactory for condonation of delay. The main ground set up in the application is that there was delay on the part of the applicant in forwarding the amounts of the Court fees to the Advocate. The application does not contain the details of the date of demand for the amount of court fees and the date on which the 2 Appln.: 1597/2009 same was made available to the learned Advocate. Nonetheless, in the interest of justice, I am inclined to condone the delay by compensating respondents no.1 and 2. Hence on the applicant paying costs quantified at Rs.3,000/-, payable to the respondents in one set, the application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a). Office to number the first appeal and place the same for admission on board on 21st March 2011. ( Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J.)
