CORAM : V. K. JADHAV, J.

DATED : 23TH OCTOBER, 2020 PER COURT :- 1.

I have heard learned counsel for the applicantacquiring body. Learned counsel submits that due to the completion of administrative formalities, such as legal advice, approval etc., delay has been caused in preferring appeals. Learned counsel submits that the delay is not intentional and the acquiring body was prevented from sufficient cause to prefer appeals within limitation. 2.

Learned counsel appearing for the respondents/original claimants has strongly resisted the applications.

3.

It appears that though there is delay in filing the first appeals arising out of the judgment and award passed by the reference court. However, the delay is not intentional one and the applicant-acquiring body, after obtaining legal advice and completion of the administrative formalities,

preferred the appeals. It further appears that the respondents/original claimants have also not seriously resisted the applications by filing reply. Considering the entire aspect of the case, I am inclined to condone the delay. Hence, all the civil applications are hereby allowed in terms of prayer clause "B" and disposed off accordingly. ( V. K. JADHAV, J. ) ...
