FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 1908 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL (ST.) NO. 2004 OF 2001 WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 1916 OF 2009 IN FIRST APPEAL NO. (ST.) NO. 2015 OF 2001 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ These applications are flied for condonation of delay of 125 days caused in filing the appeals. The applicants have preferred the first appeals against the judgment and award dated 3.5.2000, passed by the learned II Additional District Judge, Ambejogai, in Land Acquisition References. Heard Shri Jadhav, learned A.G.P. in support of the applications. Though the respondents are served, nobody appears for them. In the applications is is averred that after the judgment and order was passed on 3.5.2000, the Law and Judiciary Department forwarded the proposal to the office of the government Pleader, which was received on 7.9.2000. The appeals were filed on 29.1.2001. Thus, there is delay of 125 days. On merits, it was submitted that the compensation awarded by the Reference court is not exorbitant compared to that as awarded by the land Acquisition Officer. After hearing learned counsel appearing for the parties and considering the quantum involved in the appeals, in my opinion, this is not a fit case to condone the delay. Hence, civil applications are rejected. In view of the rejection of the civil applications first appeals stand dismissed. (R.G. KETKAR, J.) Date:05.12.2009. rlj/
