FAO No.7245 of 2015 (O&M) claimant to compensation under various heads. In view of the nature of injuries, period of treatment, I do not think it to be a fit case where any increase of compensation is justified. This apart, the present appeal has been filed after an inordinate delay of 1547 days without any satisfactory explanation that the appellant was prevented by sufficient cause from filing the appeal within the stipulated period. In view of what has been discussed hereinabove, the appeal is dismissed in limine.
