Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders. CORAM : VASANTI A. NAIK, J. DATE : 17/06/2008 Heard Shri Dhote, A.G.P. for the appellant. By this civil application, the applicant seeks condonation of delay of 1200 days in filing the first appeal. The delay was not at all satisfactorily explained by the State and, therefore, this court granted an opportunity to the State, by an order dated 04/03/2008 to file the affidavit of the concerned Government Pleader at Wardha within a period of four weeks. Though, four weeks time has lapsed, no affidavit is filed by the Government Pleader at Wardha. The reasons stated in the civil application for the delay caused in filing the first appeal are not sufficient for condoning ( 2 ) the inordinate delay of 1200 days in filing the first appeal. It is noticed that in all the matters where the State intends to prefer a first appeal there is inordinate delay in filing the same. Moreover, the applications for condonation of delay are filed in a casual manner and also are not happily worded. In the instant case, the State has not shown sufficient cause for condoning the delay of 1200 days. The civil application is, therefore, dismissed and disposed of. JUDGE gsk
