Pangam, Advocate for respondents no.1b, 1c, 1d, 1e 1f 1j & 1k. Coram:- J. N. PATEL & N. A. BRITTO, JJ. Date:- 13th November, 2006 P.C. Heard. We find that paragraph 7 of the application for condonation of delay is good and sufficient reason for condoning the delay, though it is about 10 years, 9 months and 24 days. Before we part with the order, we like to observe that the State should initiate appropriate action against the beneficiary and though he has retired, if he is found responsible for causing the delay, necessary disciplinary action should be taken against the concerned person. The application is therefore allowed. The office to register the appeal and list the same for admission after two weeks. J. N. PATEL, J. N. A. BRITTO, J. ef.
