C.M.P.No.18354 of 2024 in A.S.S.R.No.91407 of 2024 SATHI KUMAR SUKUMARA KURUP, J.

This Petition had been filed to condone the delay of 259 days in filing the A.S.SR.No.91407 of 2024.

2. The Respondent filed counter objecting to the petition.

3. I have gone through the affidavit filed in support of the petition and I am satisfied with the reasons stated therein. The objection of the Respondent even though found reasonable is not accepted considering the right of Appeal of the litigant, the same cannot be rejected on the technicalities of law. Therefore, the delay of 259 days is condoned on payment of cost of Rs.2,000/- to the State Legal Service Authority within a reasonable period of 10 days.

4. Registry is directed to number the Appeal, if it is otherwise in order and post the same for admission.

5. Accordingly, this C.M.P is allowed.
