[Mr.Noor Shergill, Assistant Official Liquidator present]. ---- CORAM : K.R.SHRIRAM,J DATE : 24.4.2018 P.C.:- Mr.Noor Shergill, Assistant Official Liquidator leaves it to the court. I have perused the application and the affidavit in support. Though the explanation for delay is not very convincing, here is a case in which the applicant is having a decree against the company in liquidation. Therefore, I am inclined to condone the delay subject to some terms.

Application allowed in terms of prayer clause-(a) which reads as under :- "(a) That delay of 986 days in lodging claim/submitting the Affidavit of Proof of Debts of Allahabad Bank (Exh.A hereto) with Official Liquidator, High Court, Bombay be condoned."
