Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. MARCH 05, 2009. Heard Shri Darda, learned counsel for the applicant and Shri Bhuibhar, learned counsel for respondents No.1, 2, 3(i). The prayer is to condone delay of 58 days in filing appeal under Section 54 of Land Acquisition Act. The learned counsel states that as certain important instructions were required in the matter and collection thereof consumed some time, the delay occurred. The learned counsel for the respondents states that delay has not been explained properly and in any case the appeal could have been filed within limitation and could have been amended later on. After hearing parties, I find that there are no malafides in the matter. The appellant/ applicant 2 was prosecuting the case and was intending to file the appeal. Hence, there is no negligence also. Delay is therefore, condoned. Office to register the appeal. JUDGE *GS.
