DESHPANDE, J.) DATE : 16th September, 2009. PER COURT : 1. This is application for condonation of 52 days caused in filing the appeal challenging the judgment and award dated 10.02.2009 passed by the Commissioner for Workmen Compensation and Civil Judge, Senior Division, Beed in W.C.A. No.08/2007. The appeal should have been filed on or before 17th February, 2009, however, the learned Counsel appearing for the applicant states that, for the reasons stated in the paragraph Nos.3 and 4 of the Application, 52 days delay has been caused. 2. The learned Counsel appearing for the respondent nos.1 to 5 has filed Affidavit in Reply opposing application for condonation of delay. The learned Counsel relied upon the decision of this Court 1998(3) All MR 393 (Shri. Victor Albuquerque V/s Saraswat Co-operative Bank Ltd., and ors.). The learned Counsel for the respondents-non-applicants submits that, no sufficient cause has been shown for condonation of delay. 3. After hearing both the sides, I am satisfied that, the applicant has made out sufficient cause which is stated in the paragraph Nos.3 and 4 of the Civil Application. It is now well settled that, the condonation of delay is `Rule’ and rejection is an exception. In view of the fact that, the sufficient cause has been made out, the application is allowed and stands disposed off. Put up for admission after four weeks. The interim relief, if any, granted earlier shall continue till the next date. (R.K. DESHPANDE) JUDGE GAS/ca7492.09(1)
