Holding

The Court condoned the delay and allowed the interim applications.

Summary

The Divisional Controller of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) filed four interim applications seeking condonation of delay in separate first appeals. The respondents, who were claimants in the appeals, did not raise any serious objections to the condonation. The Court examined the applications and, finding no substantive opposition, allowed each application and granted condonation of the procedural delay. Consequently, the pending appeals could proceed despite the lapse of prescribed time limits. The judgment was delivered by Justice Shailesh P. Brahme on 6 October 2026.
