                                                   ORDER

(@ SLP(C)No.12823/2006)

1. Leave granted.

2. This is an appeal from an order dated 23rd of November, 2005 passed by the High Court
of Judicature at Bombay, Nagpur Bench, Nagpur, rejecting an application for condonation of
delay of 11 days in filing the appeal. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and
after going through the statements made in the application for condonation of delay, we are
satisfied with the statements made in the application for condonation of delay which
constitute sufficient cause for condoning the delay in filing the appeal. We, therefore, set
aside the impugned order rejecting the application for condonation of delay. Accordingly the
application for condonation of delay is allowed. The Appeal is restored to its original file.
The High Court is now requested to dispose of the appeal at an early date, preferably within
three months from the date of communication of this order to the High Court, without
granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

3. The Appeal is allowed accordingly with no order as to costs.
