FAO No.1085 of 2008 (O&M) [ 1 ] IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ... FAO No.1085 of 2008 (O&M) Decided on : August 20, 2009 Pritam Kaur ... Appellant VERSUS Parabhjot Singh and others ... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: None for the applicant – appellant. Ms.Vandana Malhotra, Advocate for respondent - New India Assurance Company. A.N.JINDAL, J.- None appears on behalf of the appellant. Even on the last three consecutive dates i.e. 6.11.2008, 17.2.2009 and 22.5.2009, none had appeared on behalf of the appellant. This appeal challenging the award dated 6.3.2007 passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Patiala, has been filed for enhancement of compensation. However, it having been filed after the prescribed period, is accompanied by an application for condonation of delay. Delay is sought to be condoned on the ground that though the case had been prepared in time, but the clerk of the counsel for the appellant misplaced the papers and, thus, the delay of 106 days has occurred. It is a settled principle of law that delay of each day is to be FAO No.1085 of 2008 (O&M) [ 2 ] satisfactorily explained by giving sufficient reasons, but the plea set up by the counsel stands unsupported by any document, and, therefore, it cannot treated as sufficient to condone the delay. Thus, the application is dismissed. Consequently, the appeal also fails. August 20, 2009 ( A.N.JINDAL ) `gian' JUDGE
