DATE :

5nd APRIL, 2019 ORDER :

These applications are filed by original claimants for condonation of delay of 1021 days in filing the Cross-Objection in the respective first appeals.

Learned counsel for respondent No.1 and the learned A.G.P. for respondent No.2 have opposed these applications on the ground that sufficient cause has not been assigned for condonation of delay.

ca2408-2409-2019 3.

Learned counsel for the applicants submits on merits of the applications and assigned the reasons for delay i.e. illiteracy and poverty of the applicants. I hold that as the applicants have assigned sufficient cause for the delay, these applications deserve to be allowed. Accordingly Civil Application Nos.2408/2019 and 2409/2019 are allowed and delay caused in filing the Cross-Objections is condoned. The Cross-Objections be taken on record in respective First Appeals.
