NHAI vs. Sita Ram and another OMP(M) No.109 of 2025 11.07.2025 Present: Mr. Santosh Kumar, Advocate vice counsel for the applicant. Even though, the respondents have been served, however, there is no appearance on their behalf. Even on the last date also, when the respondents stood duly served no-one appeared on their behalf personally or through their counsel. By medium of this application, the applicant has sought the condonation of delay of 179 days that has crept up in filing of the main appeal. For the reasons stated in the application, more particularly para 4 thereof, coupled with the fact that there is no one to object the application, I find sufficient cause to condone the delay. Accordingly, delay of 179 days in filing the main appeal is ordered to be condoned. The application stands disposed of. Appeal be registered. Arb. Appeal No. of 2025 Notice be issued to the respondents, returnable for 22nd August, 2025. Steps be taken within a week. ( Tarlok Singh Chauhan ) Judge July 11, 2025 (naveen)
