Respondents ...

Adv. Kunal Shirgire i/b Adv. Vikas Kolekar, Adv. Priti Khambal for the Applicant.

CORAM: BHARATI DANGRE & MANJUSHA DESHPANDE, JJ.

DATED : 30th JANUARY, 2026 P.C:- 1.

The Interim Application seeks condonation of delay of 84 days in filing the Appeal.

We have heard the learned counsel for the applicant and perused the application.

The application proceeds to state that the applicant had no source of income, and even she was not awarded any interim maintenance in the D.V. Case, and therefore, on account of purely financial reasons, she could not approach the Court during the period of limitation. Further, it is also stated that she was directed to collate all the necessary documents and make pecuniary arrangement so that the Appeal could be filed, and this is the specific reason why the Ashish

2/2 6 IA 15397-24.doc Appeal could not be filed within the period of limitation. Accepting the reasons stated in the application to be bona fide, we allow the application in terms of prayer clause (a). The Family Court Appeal is directed to be registered.

2.

Issue notice to the respondent, making it returnable on 27/02/2026.

In addition to the court notice, the notice is also permitted to be served through private mode of service.
