This is an application for condonation of delay of 389 days in filing of the appeal. The application is drafted very scantily. Delay is not explained at all. Except for a bare statement that some time was consumed in making arrangement for court fee as well as cheque for Rs.25,000/-, there is no other ground mentioned explaining the delay. The appellant is a body corporate being a nationalised insurance company. It would hardly require any time for sanctioning - 2 - the payment of Rs.25,000/-. If at all there is a delay in sanctioning the amount of Rs.25,000/- and the court fees that ought to have been explained which has not been done in the application. 3. In the circumstances, no sufficient ground has been made out explaining the delay. Civil application is dismissed. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
