- 1 - IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION NOTICE OF MOTION NO.4536 OF 2007 (For condonation of Delay ) IN APPEAL (L) NO.791 OF 2007 IN WRIT PETITION NO.535 OF 2007 Usha Trivedi. .. Appellant Vs. The Principal & Ors. .. Respondents -- Shri S.B.Narwade i/b M/s.M.P.Vashi & Associates for the Appellant. Shri Neel Helekar for the Respondents. -- CORAM : SRI R.M.S.KHANDEPARKAR & SRI P.B.MAJMUDAR, JJ DATED : 2ND JULY, 2008 P.C. . Heard. By this notice of motion, the appellant is seeking to condone the delay of 153 days in filing the appeal. Undisputedly, the impugned order was passed on 12th March, 2007. The application for certified copy of the said order was made on 16th April, 2007 and the same was received on 8th June, 2007. The only ground on which the delay is sought to be condoned is that different opinions were expressed - 2 - by different advocates on the point as to whether appeal is to be filed or not. However, the affidavit nowhere discloses the names of the advocates from whom such opinions were obtained and when, nor it discloses what prevented the appellant from obtaining such opinions within the period of limitation, and if not so obtained, why ? In short, there is absolutely no cause shown for condonation of delay of 153 days in filing the appeal, and in the absence of sufficient cause being shown, the question of condonation of delay does not arise. The Notice of Motion is therefore rejected. Consequently, the Appeal Lodging No.791 of 2007 is also rejected. ( R.M.S.KHANDEPARKAR, J ) ( P.B.MAJMUDAR, J )
