2 19.461.16 appln.doc The learned APP appearing for the State invites our attention to the averments of the application and submits that the delay of 85 days in filing the appeal deserves to be condoned. On the other hand, the learned counsel appearing for respondent nos. 3, 9, 10 & 13 vehemently opposed the prayer in the application and submits that no sufficient reasons/explanation has been offered in the application so as to condone the delay. We have considered the submissions of the learned APP and the counsel appearing for respondent nos. 3, 9, 10 & 13. We have carefully perused the reasons stated in the application. There is a delay of 85 days which deserves to be condoned in the interest of justice.

Application stands disposed of. Let the appeal be numbered and listed on 09/10/2018.
