IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH F.A.O.No.4473 of 2008 (O&M) Date of Decision 15.10.2009 Smt.Anju and others ...... Appellants VERSUS Azad Singh and others ...... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.Rajbir Sehrawat, Advocate, for the appellants. ***** A.N.JINDAL, J(ORAL): Aggrieved against the order dated 17.01.2007, passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Rohtak, dismissing the claim petition of the appellants-claimants (herein referred as 'the petitioners'), they have preferred this appeal. This appeal, being time barred is accompanied by an application for condonation of delay of 406 days in its filing. The grounds, as set up by the appellants for condoning the delay, could not be said to be sufficient. The delay of few days or few hours could be condoned but this long delay of more than one year could not be condoned on flimsy grounds. If such delay is condoned after ignoring the law of limitation, it would completely wipe out the intention of the provision of Limitation Act and would send wrong signals to the society that any stale litigation could be entertained at any time. Resultantly, the application is dismissed. Consequently, the appeal also fails. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 15.10.2009 mamta-II
