Court's or Judges Order =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mr. T.K.Jhaver, Advocate for the Appellant-applicant Mr. M.R.Kalar, Advocate for the Respondent No.3. C ORAM : F. M. REIS, J. DATED : 11th JANUARY, 2010. Heard learned counsel for the appellant- applicant and respondent. This is an application for condonation of delay of 272 days in filing the First Appeal against the judgment and order dated 27th March, 2008 passed by the learned Member, Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Amravati in M.A.C.P. No. 319/2005. The main ground as contended by the applicant for the delay is that after the said judgment was passed, the learned counsel for the applicant could not contact the applicant-appellant after obtaining the certified copy of the said judgment 2 and decree as the applicant is daily wager and used to go on contract out of the town. The further delay is on account of illness of the applicant. A medical certificate to that effect has also been produced by the applicant. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that there are no malafides on the part of the applicant in approaching this Court belatedly. As such the delay of 272 in filing the First Appeal is condoned with no order as to costs. Civil Application is allowed and disposed of accordingly. JUDGE. Diwale
