Holding
The Court held that the delay in filing the appeals is condoned, allowing the appeals to be registered.
Summary
The Executive Director of Tapi Patbandhare Vikas Mahamandal Jalgaon and other applicants filed several civil applications seeking condonation of delay in filing appeals against awards passed by the Reference Court in land‑acquisition matters. The applications were filed under various Fast Track numbers (5993, 5995, 5997, 5999) and were heard by Justice S.G. Chapalgaonkar. The applicants argued that the delay was justified and that the appeals should be allowed to proceed. The Court examined the submissions and found that the reasons advanced were sufficient to merit condonation of the delay. Consequently, the Court ordered that the civil applications be allowed, the delay be condoned, and the appeals be registered after removal of any office objection. The applications were thereafter disposed of.
