Summary

The applicants, Pranit Babasaheb Gund and another, filed an appeal against a decision of the State of Maharashtra but missed the prescribed time limit by ten days. They filed a civil application seeking condonation of this delay. The respondent, represented by the Additional Government Pleader, raised no objection to the condonation. The Court examined the grounds set out in paragraphs 3 to 8 of the application and, noting the lack of opposition, found the reasons satisfactory. Consequently, the Court allowed the application and ordered that the ten‑day delay be condoned, permitting the appeal to be registered in accordance with law.
