CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI AND F.M. REIS, JJ. DATED : OCTOBER 05, 2009. Heard Shri M.W. Harsulkar, learned Counsel for applicant and Ms. Mayuri Deshmukh, learned Counsel for respondent. Prayer is to condone delay of 184 days in filing Appeal under Section 19 of the Family Courts Act, by the applicant – wife. The request is being strongly opposed by the respondent husband, who contends that the wife has filed so many proceedings in the court and therefore, she is always aware of all developments. Learned counsel for the applicant states that as the date of delivery of judgment was not communicated to the applicant, she could not get knowledge and hence there is delay. The application by wife for grant of divorce and for return of articles has been allowed by the Family Court partly. Though the marriage has been dissolved, the Family Court has refused to return the articles. We have perused the 2 affidavit, and as we do not find any malafides, the delay is condoned. Office to register the First Appeal and place the same for further consideration. Civil Application is accordingly allowed. JUDGE JUDGE Rgd.
