Holding
The Court held that the delay of 246 days is condonable as the applicants have satisfactorily explained the reasons for the delay.
Summary
Turab, the applicant, filed multiple civil applications seeking condonation of a 246‑day delay in filing appeals against a judgment and award of the Reference Court. The respondent State of Maharashtra and others were served, but one respondent did not appear. The Court examined the explanations provided in paragraphs 4 to 10 of the applications and found them satisfactory. Consequently, the Court condoned the delay, allowed the applications, and ordered that the appeals be registered after removal of the office objection. The civil applications were thereafter disposed of.
