FINAL ORDER :

.

Applicants seek to condone delay caused in preferring the first appeals.

13 904 ca 3578.25 for delay group 2.

The appeals which are filed beyond limitation and in which applications have been made by the acquiring body for condonation of delay.

3.

The delay has been caused in preferring appeals and the grounds are mentioned in the applications for condonation of delay. There is no serious challenge to the averments of the applications. No malafides can be attributed on the part of the acquiring body in preferring appeals belatedly. 4.

A glaring aspect of the matters is that these are more than six hundred appeals preferred by the acquiring body against the judgments and awards passed by the Reference Court. In many matters this Court has condoned the delay and appeals have been registered. Those are heard on merits also. The condonation of delay has repercussions on public exchequer. 5.

This Court is inclined to condone the delay caused by the acquiring body. For the reasons stated in the applications, the applications are allowed. The delay stands condoned. Office shall register the first appeals. The civil applications are disposed of.

6.

It is clarified that the final hearing of few of the appeals which have already been registered is underway. If for some technical difficulty it is not possible for the office to register the first appeals, the same shall not be an impediment in listing

14 904 ca 3578.25 for delay group those appeals along with already registered first appeals for the final disposal.

7.

In the civil applications, in which delay has already been condoned by previous orders, appellant shall remove office objections, if any. Even ff the office objections are not removed, appeals shall be listed on given date.

8.

List all first appeals on 05.03.2026.
