BORKAR.J. DATED : 03.05.2010 1. Heard A.G.P. Mrs. R.K. Ladda for the applicant/State. These are applications for condonation of delay of 1003 days in filing the First Appeals against judgment and award passed by the Adhoc Additional District Judge-2, Latur, on 21.03.2007. All these four Land Acquisition References were disposed of by a common judgment on 21.03.2007. In the applications it is stated that after the decision, proposals were made by the Office of the District Government Pleader for filing appeals and the Law and Judiciary Department took decision and communicated it to the Government Pleader’s Office, High Court Bench, 2 Aurangabad, by letter dated 01.02.2008. It is not explained why there was delay of almost 10-11 months when the limitation prescribed in law is 90 days. It is further stated that immediately on 12.02.2008 and thereafter on 05.07.2008, reminders were sent to the concerned authority for making available certified copies of the judgment and award, difference chart and typed copies of judgment and award and Court fees. However, the certified copies and typed copies of judgment and award were made available on 19.11.2008 and difference chart was received on 24.11.2009. It is not explained why difference chart could not be prepared in the office of Government Pleader when it is only difference between the amount awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer and the amount awarded by the Reference Court. 2. I am not satisfied with the reason so far as delay beyond 19.11.2008 is concerned. Ultimately, the appeals are filed on 18.03.2010. Not being satisfied with the reasons given, the applications for condonation 3 of delay are dismissed. 3. In view of dismissal of Applications for Condonation of Delay, the Civil Applications for stay do not survive and they are disposed of as such. 4. Issue Court fees refund certificates as per rules.
