Court's or Judges Order =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-== Mr. A.R. Godbole, counsel for applicant. C ORAM : F.M. REIS, J. DATED : 4th January, 2010. Heard the learned counsel for the applicant. None for the respondents, though served. This is an application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal against the award passed on 23rd of January 2009 by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal at Darwha in C.P. No.142/2006. It is the case of the applicant that the delay has arisen as the proceedings were initially transferred from the Court at Yavatmal. It is the further case of the applicant that on account of administrative reasons they were unable to prefer an appeal within the time prescribed. The statements made in the application for condonation of delay stand uncontroverted as the respondents have not filed any reply nor have opposed the said application. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the applicant had made out a case for condonation of delay of 130 days in filing the appeal against the said award. In the circumstances, the delay in filing the above appeal is 2 condoned subject to payment of costs of Rs.600/- to the High Court Legal Services Authority, Nagpur within a period of four weeks from today. Civil application stands disposed of. JUDGE. Tambaskar
