P.C. :

1.

This is an Application for bringing legal heirs of Appellant No.1 on record.

It is stated that, the Appellant No.1 i.e. Shri Gulab Aliakbar Mujawar passed away on 07th October, 2011. There is a delay of 9 years and 267 days in filing the present Application.

2.

Mr. Talkute, learned counsel appearing for the Respondents submitted that, the said delay is inordinate and has not been properly explained 1/3

by the Applicants/Appellants and therefore it may not be condoned. He further submitted that, if the Court is inclined to condone the delay in the interest of justice, exemplary cost may be imposed upon the Applicants. 3.

Perusal of the Application would indicate that, it is necessary in the interest of justice to condone delay to bring legal heirs of Appellant No.1 on record. However, taking into consideration the delay caused for filing the present Application, it will be appropriate to impose cost of Rs.10,000/- upon the Applicants.

4.
