DATED : OCTOBER 3, 2017 Heard learned Counsel for the parties.

This application is moved by applicant for condonation of delay of 266 days caused in preferring appeal against judgment and award dated 9/3/2016 passed by learned Civil Judge, Senior Division, Darwha in L.A.C. No. 2187/2004.

Shri Darekar, learned Counsel for respondent no.1, has opposed the application contending that there is no sufficient ground put forth for condonation of delay.

Having considered the grounds mentioned in paras 4 and 5 of the application, delay is liable to be condoned as it is found that there is no intentional delay caused in preferring first appeal. The application is, therefore, allowed.
