NO.1970 OF 2009 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Shri Sakolkar, learned counsel for the sale respondents states that the sole respondent in civil application No. 1541 of 2009, is dead and he has filed Vakalatnama on behalf of heirs and legal representatives of sole respondent. In view of this, leave to amend the civil application No.1541 of 2009. Heirs and legal representatives of the sole respondent be brought on record. Amendment to be carried out forthwith. These applications are for condonation of delay of 78 days caused in filing the appeals. The applicants have preferred the first appeals against the judgment and award dated 21.4.2008 passed by the learned C.J.S.D. Ahmedpur, Camp at Udgir, District Latur. It is averred in the applications that the 2 Law and Judiciary department has scrutinized the proposal and by communication dated 23.10.2008, informed the Government Pleader to prefer appeals against the award. The office of the Government Pleader called for the certified copies of the judgment and award. The typed copies and different charts and court fees were sent by letter dated 20.11.2008. The appeals were eventually filed on 27.1.2009, which resulted in delay of 78 days. On merits, it was submitted that the Land Acquisition Officer awarded compensation of Rs.740/- per Are which was enhanced by the Reference Court to Rs. 2,200/- per R. After hearing learned A.G.P. in support of these applications and Shri Sakolkar, learned counsel for the respondents, I am satisfied that the applicants have made out sufficient cause for condoning the delay. Considering the controversy raised in the first appeals, in my opinion, the delay deserves to be condoned. Hence, civil applications are allowed in terms of prayer clause "B" with no order as costs.
