FAO No.441 of 2009 (O&M) [ 1 ] IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ... CM No.1518-1520-CII of 2009 FAO No.441 of 2009 (O&M) Decided on : August 25, 2009 Sombir ... Appellant VERSUS Dharam Chand and others ... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.Kulwant Singh Dhanora, Advocate for the appellant. A.N.JINDAL, J.- CM No.1518-CII of 2009 : Allowed. Delay condoned. CM No.1519-CII of 2009 : Allowed, subject to all just exceptions. FAO No.441/2009 (O&M : This appeal for enhancement of compensation is directed against the award dated 28.5.2007 passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Hisar. It being time barred, is accompanied by an application for condonation of delay of 309 days. The only plea set up by the appellant is that the award had been passed on 28.5.2007 and the claimant filed a review application on FAO No.441 of 2009 (O&M) [ 2 ] 14.6.2007, which was dismissed on 1.2.2008, as such, this appeal was preferred on 4.7.2008. The filing of review petition could not stop the limitation, which had already begun to run. The only remedy against declining of any relief was the appeal against the award. In the circumstances, the filing of the review application cannot be said to be sufficient ground for condoning such a huge delay. Resultantly, the application is dismissed. Consequently, the appeal also fails. August 25, 2009 ( A.N.JINDAL ) `gian' JUDGE
