It is nowhere stated that during which period the officer was ill and absent. 2. Be that as it may, as the application is moved by the Insurance Company, taking liberal view of the matter, the same is 2 allowed and the delay is condoned subject to payment of costs of Rs.2,000/- by the applicant to the respondents. The costs shall be paid within four weeks from today. The application allowed and disposed of. JUDGE 3 HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION.
