Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and perused the application. On its perusal we are satisfied that the delay is neither intentional nor deliberate and since it is bonafide and ministerial in nature, we deem it appropriate to condone the delay. 3.

Interim Application is made absolute in terms of prayer clause 'b'.
