This is an application for condonation of delay of 182 days in filing the first appeal against the award passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal dated 05/12/2008. It is the contention of the applicant that in the certified copy which has been issued to the applicant, the cause title did not disclose the correct name of the respondents. Accordingly, necessary steps had to be taken before the Tribunal to amend the cause title in the impugned award. In view of the time consumed for such exercise, there was delay in filing the first appeal. The respondents though served, have failed to file any reply opposing the application. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and as no mala fides have been attributed to the applicant, the delay of 182 days in filing the first appeal is condoned. The application stands disposed of accordingly. wwl JUDGE
