IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY: NAGPUR BENCH: NAGPUR CIVIL APPLICATION NO.4410/2006 in F.A. ST.7119/06. [State ..vs. Nilesh Kothari & anor] ================================== Mr. J.B. Jaiswal, A.G.P. for appellant Mr. ================================== CORAM: D.K. DESHMUKH, J. DATE:8TH DECEMBER, 2008. Heard. This is an application filed by applicant for condonation of delay in filing first appeal. Delay is of 125 days and the reasons that have been given for not filing the appeal for such a long time, are not specific. They are general. So far as the merits of the appeal are concerned, Land Acquisition Officer granted compensation @ Rs.13000/- per hectare, whereas Reference Court has granted compensation @ Rs.27,500/- per hectare. The land acquired is 1.17 H.R. In my opinion therefore, considering the amount of compensation involved, the delay involved and the generality of the reasons that have been given, it will not be in the interest of justice to condone the delay. Civil application is therefore disposed of. JUDGE smp.
