Mulekar, AGP for applicant in all the applications. Mrs. P.H. Potnis for the respondents in all the applications. CORAM: B.H. MARLAPALLE & D.G. KARNIK, JJ. 28/01/2009. P.C.: . From the common award passed by the Reference Court on 3/9/2005, the State Government has filed eight appeals but belatedly and hence in each of these appeals separate application for condonation of delay has been filed. . As per the office note the appeals are beyond time by 108 days. It has been stated that though the application for a certified true copy of the award was made on 5/9/2005, the same was made available on 13/3/2006 and the appeals have been filed on 26/9/2006. To explain these delay of more than 6 months, it has been stated that the Government Pleader’s office received the certified true copies on 10/7/2006 i.e. almost after 4 months from the day they were received from the Reference Court by the District Government Pleader’s office. Last date for filing the appeal was 9/6/2006. This delay of more than about 3 months in filing the appeals has been explained in each of the applications and in our opinion the said delay deserves to be condoned. . Hence, the delay is condoned and all the applications are allowed accordingly. (D.G. Karnik,J.) (B.H. Marlapalle,J.)
