This application is preferred by the original claimants for condonation of delay.

3.

The learned tribunal awarded compensation of Rs.4,54,000/- alongwith interest @ 9% from the date of application till realization. This amount is inclusive of No Fault Liability.

4.

The reasons are assigned that applicant No.1 is the widow of the deceased. Applicant No.2 is the minor. Applicant No.3 happens to be mother of the deceased. Since there was no

Considering that applicant No.1 and 3 are ladies and No.2 is still minor, this court finds that delay needs to be condoned.

Both the advocates for the respondents have opposed the application stating that there is no sufficient ground made out to condone the delay.

However, considering the fact as recorded above and in the interest of justice, the application stands allowed. The delay stands condoned.
