Learned A.G.P. seeks to condone the delay of 549 days caused in filing the appeals. Learned Counsel for the claimant has straneously opposed to entertain the application, pointing there is operating a slumber on the part of the State 2 to prosecute the matter. 3. The record demonstrates, the impugned judgment is dt.14.3.2006, certified copy was applied on 6.7.2007, it was ready on 12.7.2007 and collected immediately. Thereafter, the matter was referred to the superior authorities and the decision could not be taken in time. Though the delay, apparently, is exorbitant, however, it was certainly beyond the control of the officers concerned and it could not be indicated to be deliberate attempt to ditch the award obliquely. Sufficient grounds being demonstrated, delay condoned, applications (Nos.292/2008 and 293/2008) are allowed. 4. Learned Counsel for the claimants/respondents waives service in the appeal. Copies of appeal memo and annexures to be given within a month from today. 3 Call for R & P. Appeal to be heard at admission stage as agreed by both sides on 23rd July, 2010.
