IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 796 OF 2007 IN STAMP NUMBER MAIN NO. 1831 OF 2007 XALINI ALIAS CAXIBAI KESHAV KAMAT AND 7 ORS., ... Applicants Versus BHAGAWANT SADANAND KAMAT AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. Ryan Menezes, Advocate for the Applicants. Respondent No. 1 in person. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 21st February, 2008 P.C.:- Heard Mr. Ryan Menezes, learned Counsel on behalf of the Applicants and Respondent No.1 in person, on application dated 9-7-2007. Respondent No..1 points out that after the First Appeal was allowed he filed mutation proceedings before the Mamlatdar and in the said mutation proceedings Viresh Keshav Kamat on behalf of the Applicants as well as Respondent Nos.2 and 3 filed a reply stating that the Judgment had not attained finality and that it would attain finality only after the expiry of the period of limitation for filing the appeal. He also points out that the Applicants as well as Respondent Nos.2 and 3 who were the Defendants in the Civil Suit were always being represented by the said Viresh Keshav Kamat. The averments made in para 2 of the application cannot be accepted. Applicant/Defendant No.4 was always free to file the appeal, in case he wanted to file the same, by making the remaining Defendants as Respondents as has been done in the case of Respondent Nos.2 and 3. It is difficult to accept that the Advocate who was appearing for the Applicant and Respondent Nos.2 and 3 told them to file an appeal but did not tell the limitation period for filing the same. Considering the facts of the case, no sufficient cause has been shown to explain the delay of 225 days. Application therefore is hereby dismissed. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD.
