IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 353 OF 2010 IN STAMP NUMBER MAIN NO. 960 OF 2010 UNITED INDIA INSURANCE CO.LTD. ... Applicant Versus MR. SUNNY DIAS AND ANR., ... Respondents Shri. A. R. S. Netravalkar, Advocate for the applicant. Ms. R. Kantak, Advocate for respondent no.1. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 2nd February, 2011 P.C. Heard Mr. Netravalkar, learned Counsel for the applicant and Miss Kantak, learned Counsel for respondent no.1. Respondent no.2 though served, is absent. 2. By this application, the appellant/ applicant seeks condonation of delay of 170 days in filing the appeal against the judgment and award dated 17th July, 2009 passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Salcete, Margao in Claim Petition No.13/2008. The application is vehemently opposed on behalf of respondent no.1. Considering the averments made in the application, I find that the applicant has made out sufficient cause for condoning the delay. Accordingly, delay of 170 days in filing the application is allowed subject to the applicant paying costs of Rs.1,500/- to respondent no.1 within four weeks. The costs shall be deposited in the registry of this Court. Upon depositing the costs, the registry shall pay the amount to respondent no.1. The application stands disposed of. A. P. LAVANDE, J. SMA
