The prayer in this application filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act is to condone the delay of 597 days in filing the appeal. 2. The impugned award was passed by the Tribunal on December 31, 2008. But according to the petitioner/appellant, she noticed the inadequacy of the award only at the time of filing the execution petition. Immediately, she took steps to get a certified copy of the award inorder to file the appeal. It is also stated by her that she had been undergoing treatment for paralysis. But she has not furnished any details about the period of treatment nor has she produced any medical record to substantiate the above contention. In any view of the matter, we are not at all satisfied with the explanation offered by the petitioner to condone the inordinate delay. Therefore, the delay petition is dismissed. Consequently, the appeal is also dismissed. A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE P.Q.BARKATH ALI, JUDGE sv.
