Respondents Ms.S.M.Dave for the petitioner in both the petitions. Mr.S.S.Shah for respondents in both the respondents. CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. DATE : 4 th August 2009. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel appearing for the parties. The grievance of the petitioner who is the original plaintiff is that in the application for condonation of delay filed by the contesting respondents material facts have been suppressed and incorrect statements have been made and therefore pending the final disposal of the delay condonation application, stay 2 could not have been granted. 2. The application for condonation of delay is still pending. The said application will have to be heard and decided on merits. If the concerned respondents do not make out a case for condonation of delay, it is obvious that the impugned order will come to an end. 3. Hence, the interest of justice will be served if this petitions are disposed of by directing the Appellate Court to decide the applications for condonation of delay expeditiously. 4. Hence, I pass the following order: : O R D E R : (a) The Appellate Court is directed to dispose of the applications for condonation of delay as expeditiously as possible and in any event on or before 14 th October 2009. (b) All contentions on merits are kept open. (A.S.OKA,J)
