In obedience of our order dated 13/3/2009, the Registrar from the District and Sessions Court at Pune has submitted his report dated 1/4/2009 and Shri R.M. Ankam, Superintendent (Technial Branch) from the said court is present before us so as to assist the learned AGP. . We are not impressed by the explanation furnished so as to justify the delay of six months in issuing certified true copies of the common award passed on 3/9/2005. . We, therefore, direct that the said report be placed before the learned Principal District Judge at Pune who shall take corrective steps to ensure that the certified true copies are delivered to the parties, including the Government Pleader’s office within the stipulated period of 15 days. We expect the learned Principal District Judge to ensure that the infrastructure required is at place and the employees found responsible in causing the delay are proceeded against departmentally. . These applications pray for condonation of delay caused in filing First Appeals under Section 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 against the said common award dated 3/9/2005. We have heard Mr. Mourya h/f Mrs. P.H. Potnis for respondents. . The appeals have been filed beyond time by 361 days as per the office note and in any case from the connected award the State Government had filed appeals before this court and they came to be dismissed on 2/5/2008 by confirming the market rate fixed by the Reference Court at Rs.1,25,000/- to Rs.1,32,000/- as the case may be. Appeals under Stamp Nos. 24997, 25018, 25022, 25002, 25005, 25008, 25011 and 25014 of 2006 also came to be dismissed by this court on 28/1/2009 by a reasoned order and we confirm the market rate of Rs.1,28,000/-. . Hence, there is a case made out to condone the delay and the applications are allowed in terms of prayer clause (b). (S.J. Vazifdar,J.) (B.H. Marlapalle,J.)
