It appears that there is delay of two years and 235 days caused in filing LPA. It appears that initially, the delay was caused on account of administrative reasons. Thereafter appeal was filed. However, the Assistant Solicitor and Deputy Secretary to Government issued communication dated 25th March 2009 asking Shri S.G. Jagtap to move the Court for withdrawal of appeal. Aparently, since this Court has taken a view in State of Maharashtra v. Appa Durga Pawar reported in 1997 (2) Mh.L.J. 500 that appeal has to be initially filed through the Government Pleader and thereafter the same can be dealt with through “A” 2 Panel Counsel, appeal has now been filed through the Government Pleader’s Office. 2. Hence, applicant has made out a case for condonation of delay. Delay is condoned. Application disposed of. List the appeal for admission on 27.4.2010. Judge. Judge. hsj
