CORAM : SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE, J.

DATE : 02.01.2023 PER COURT :

Heard rival submissions. Despite last chance, the respondent - claimant did not file reply. The applicant i.e. the owner of offending vehicle is seeking condonation of delay of 2990 days in filing this appeal which appears to be caused since his advocate did not inform him about the passing of award. The learned counsel for Respondent No.1 -claimant strongly opposed the application on the ground that there is unexplained inordinate delay.

2.

However, considering the statutory right of the applicant, the delay of 2990 days stands condoned. The appeal be placed for admission after removal of office objections, if any. 3.

The application is accordingly disposed of.
