Mr.S.S.Hardikar for respondent. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE &. D.G.KARNIK,JJ. January 22, 2009. P.C. . Heard Mr.Deshpande, the learned counsel for the applicant. Family Court Appeal under Stamp No.15077 of 2008 has been filed belatedly and, therefore, this application for condonation of delay. . As per the office note the appeal is beyond time by 521 days. . It is submitted that the impugned order passed by the Family Court is dated 20/10/2006 and at the first instance it came to be challenged in Writ Petition 2 No.293 of 2007. The said petition was withdrawn as it was not maintainable, on 30/11/2007. We have noted that the appeal is filed on 20th June 2008 which is not within a period of ninety days from 30/11/2007, even though we wish to give benefit of doubt to the applicant. No reasons have been set out even for this extended delay. We are, therefore, satisfied that there is no case made out to condone the delay caused in filing the appeal. Hence the application is rejected. Consequently registration of Family Court Appeal under Stamp No.15077 of 2008 is refused. . This order will not come in the way of the parties to negotiate for an amicable settlement. (D.G.KARNIK,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
