1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR CA NO. 8338 OF 2007 IN FA ST. 10695 OF 2007 (VIDC vs. Janrao Govindrao Tatke & Ors.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. FEBRUARY 05, 2009. Heard Shri Palshikar, learned counsel for the applicant/ appellant. The prayer is to condone delay of 552 days in filing First Appeal under Section 54 of Land Acquisition Act. The prayer is being strongly opposed by Ms. Wasu, learned counsel for respondent No.1. She points out that the enhancement is not more than 18,500/-. Shri Palshikar, learned counsel points out that the earlier certified copy applied for was misplaced and it was required to be obtained again. He further states that question of payment of Court fee also created some confusion and ultimately, all these lead to delay of 552 days. Perused the affidavit. I find that the delay has been properly explained but then Respondent 2 No.1 needs to be compensated while condoning such delay. Hence, delay is condoned, however, subject to payment of cost of Rs.1,000/- by the applicant to Respondent No.1 by 15th March 2009. If the costs are so paid, office to register First Appeal and place it for further consideration. JUDGE *GS.
