Perused the averments made in the application as well as the objections taken in the reply-affidavit and rebuttal of the said objections in the rejoinder-affidavit. We accept the argument of the applicant that the intimation regarding the impugned judgment and decree passed by the Family Court was given to the applicant only by way of formal application filed in the proceedings before the Malegaon Court on 7th January, 2011. Immediately thereafter, the applicant took steps for filing of present appeal. In our : 2 : cam-22-11=.doc opinion, the delay in filing of the appeal has been sufficiently explained and in the interest of justice, the same deserves to be condoned. 2. Accordingly, application is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). Appeal be registered and proceeded on merits as per its turn. (R.Y.GANOO, J.) (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
