Mr A.V. Palshikar, Adv for applicant Mr J. B. Gandhi, Adv for R-1 Mr M. Ekre, AGP for R-2, 3 CORAM : A. P. BHANGALE, J DATED : 29th July 2015 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

There is delay of 1622 days caused in filing First Appeal. Prayer for condonation of delay is strongly opposed by learned counsel for respondent no. 1. He contends that delay is huge and not at all properly explained.

I have perused application and I find that delay is neither deliberate nor intentional and deserves to be condoned in the larger interest of justice. However, that will be subject to payment of costs. Delay is condoned subject to payment of costs of Rs. 10,000/- to be deposited by the applicant

in this Court as a condition precedent. If costs are deposited, the same shall be made over to respondent no. 1. Application disposed of accordingly.
