DATE : 13TH JULY, 2023 ORDER :- By these applications, the applicants are praying to condone the delay of 2955 days caused in filing the first appeal against the judgment and award passed by the Reference Court. Mr. Sakolkar, learned advocate for the applicants invites attention of this court to para Nos. 2 to 6 of this application to contend that reasonable explanation is given for delay condonation. He would further submit that applicants have lost agricultural land on account of the acquisition and the compensation awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer and further by the Reference Court is highly inadequate. Considering the submissions advanced and the fact that the applicants are litigating for getting just compensation towards their acquired land and the reasons stated in para.2 to 6 of the application, case is made out to condone the delay. Hence the following order :-
