MC 414/2007 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.P.KATAKEY Heard Mr S Dutta, learned counsel for the applicant. It appears from office note dated 18 January 2011 that service is comple te. The applicant, by the present application is seeking condonation of dela y of 30 days in preferring the appeal against the award dated 3 August 2006 pass ed by the learned Member, MACT, Cachar in MAC Case No.1702/2003, on the grounds stated in paragraph 4 of the application. Neither the respondents have appeared, despite service, nor has filed ob jections controverting the averments made in the application. Having heard learned counsel for the applicant and on consideration of t he averments made in the application more particularly, in paragraph 4 thereof, I am of the view that the applicant was prevented by sufficient cause in not pre ferring the appeal on time, and hence the delay of 30 days occurred in preferrin g the appeal is condoned. The miscellaneous application stands allowed.
