No. 95 of 1985 came to be decided as per award dated 9/2/2001 and the learned District :2: Government Pleader forwarded his opinion to the Law and Judiciary Department, Government of Maharashtra on 17/2/2001. The last date for filing appeal as per the limitation prescribed was 10/5/2001. The Solicitor to Government issued Resolution dated 19/12/2001 and called upon the Government Pleader’s Office to file an appeal. No steps were taken thereafter till 12/9/2007 i.e. for almost six years. Certified copy was obtained for the first time on or about 8/9/2007 and the appeal has been filed on or about 29/12/2008. Last and most important is the award amount and it is only Rs.46,950/-. The appeal has been assessed for the said amount for payment of court fees. 3.
