By these applications, the applicant / State has prayed for condonation of 436 days delay caused in preferring appeals against judgment and award dated 24.09.2004 passed by Civil Judge, Senior Division, Ahmednagar in Land References. 2. It appears that the judgment impugned in these appeals has been passed on 24.09.2004, application for certified copy came to be submitted on 16.12.2005 and the copy was supplied on 28.12.2005. Thereafter, proposal came to be forwarded to the Law & Judiciary Department and after granting approval the matter was received in the office of Government pleader. After preparing the draft the appeals along with civil applications came to be filed on 02.03.2006. On bare perusal of the applications it is clear that application for obtaining certified copy was submitted after 1 year and 3 months after the order was passed. No reason has been tendered as to why application for certified copy was submitted after 15 months of passing of the judgment. In the premise, as no sufficient and satisfactory reasons are disclosed in the application for condonation of delay, the same is hereby dismissed with no order as to costs. 3. As applications for condonation of delay are dismissed the accompanying first appeals do not survive and hence stand rejected. The applicant is entitled for refund of court fees as per rules.
