1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. C.A.F No.2251/2010 in First Appeal St. No.9761/2010. ( The State of Maharashtra, through its Collector, Gadchiroli & others ..V/s.. Sunil Rambhau Yerne ) _______________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoramda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders of directions Court's or Judge's orders. and Registrar's Orders. Shri Bhagde, A.G.P. for applicants. Shri Rohit Joshi, Adv. for respondent. CORAM : R.M.SAVANT, J. DATED : 12.01.2011. By the above civil application, the applicants/appellants seek condonation of delay of 105 days in filing the appeal. The reasons therefor are mentioned in the civil application. The sum and substance of the reasons is that there was some administrative delay in obtaining the approval for filing the appeal. The learned counsel for the contesting respondent states that the facts disclose that the approval was granted within limitation. However, there is no explanation given in the civil application as to why the delay has occasioned after the said approval had been granted. It is well settled that in the matters of condonation of delay the State has to be shown some indulgence on account of the administrative delays that takes place. It is also well settled that nobodys benefit by delay 2 being occasioned in filing the proceedings. Though rightly stated by the learned counsel for the respondent that there is no proper explanation as to why the delay has occasioned after the approval was granted. In my view, considering the well settled principles which have been laid down in a catena of the judgments which are applicable to the applications filed on behalf of the State, seeking condonation of delay, the civil application of the State for condonation of delay is required to be allowed and is accordingly allowed. Resultantly, the delay of 105 days in filing the appeal is condoned. However, in my view the interest of justice would be served if the applicants/appellants are directed to pay costs of Rs. 1,000/- (Rs. One Thousand Only). The learned counsel for the respondent fairly states that the costs may be deposited with the High Court Legal Aid Services Sub-Committee, Nagpur. The costs shall be deposited accordingly. The civil application stands disposed of. First Appeal St. No.9761/2010. The learned A.G.P. states that the decretal amount has been deposited in this Court on 27th of December 2010. Hence list the appeal for admission on 25th of January 2011. JUDGE Tambaskar.
