Thereafter the case file was put up for taking further action for filing the appeal and the same was sent to the Board of Directors of the Bank for taking a decision regarding filing of the appeal. It has further been stated that the appellant being a body corporate the file of the case had to pass through many channels before the approval could be granted for filing the appeal. C.M.No.9206-C of 2008 in/and R.S.A. No. 3103 of 2008 -2- Further it has been stated in the application that after receiving the approval for filing the appeal, the case was sent to the counsel for the appellant for filing the appeal and in this process the delay of 173 days has occurred. Reply to the application has been filed. A perusal of the application reveals that it is vague and does not disclose as to when the matter was sent to the Board of Directors of the Bank for taking a decision regarding filing of the appeal and when the decision was taken. It is also silent in so far as the matter being entrusted to the counsel for filing of the appeal. The delay of 173 days is fatal to the case. The appeal being barred by the law of limitation is dismissed accordingly. 4.2.2009 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
