1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR Civil Application (caf) No. 1465 of 2011 (In FA St. No. 4964 of 2011) Ramrao Janrao Ugale (dead) thr. L.Rs. Balu Ramrao Ugale & ors. ...Versus... The State of Maharashtra & ors. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Mr. Vinay Dahat Advocate for applicants. Mr. D.B. Yengal, AGP, for Res.1 & 2. … CORAM : A.B. CHAUDHARI, J. DATED : 25.11.2011. This is an application seeking condonation of delay of 1768 days in filing the first appeal. Heard learned counsel for the applicants. Perused the application. The only ground mentioned in the application is that the applicants were not aware of the pendency of the Reference filed by their father who died during pendency of the said Reference. All the applicants are major and it is not possible to agree that they were not aware. At any rate, the statements made in the application have not been substantiated on affidavit by any of the applicants who are major. The bald statement that the appellants 2 were not aware of the Reference filed by their father and Reference was filed in the year 1997 is unbelievable. The delay being huge, i.e. 1768 days, it is not possible to condone such a huge delay. The application for condonation of delay is dismissed. Consequently, F.A. St.No. 4964/11 is rejected. Judge /TA/
