Vs. M/s.Monsanto Chemicals of India Ltd. ..Respondent. Mr.Suresh Kumar for the Appellant. Mr. Firoz Andhyarjina i/by PDS legal for the Respondent. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & R.S. MOHITE, JJ. DATE : 11TH FEBRUARY,2009. PC : 1. This is a notice of motion for condoning 1447 days delay in filing the main appeal. 2. On perusing the affidavit in support, it appears that the matter was first sent to the Advocate for drafting the appeal memo on 14.9.2004 and thereafter file was passed on through several advocates. Ultimately draft of appeal memo was received on 28.8.2008. The period of almost about four years for drafting the appeal memo cannot be said to be reasonable. In our view, therefore, the cause shown does not amount to sufficient cause. Notice of motion is therefore, dismissed. Consequently, appeal dismissed. Certified copy expedited. (R.S. MOHITE,J.) (F.I. REBELLO, J.)
