The averments contained in the application are that on 06.04.2024 after receipt of an intimation from the office of Advocate General, the matter was examined and it was opined to assail the judgment and the delay as such has taken place which is bonafide and not intentional. 3. The application has been opposed by filing reply. In the reply it is stated that it has not been disclosed by the applicants that when certified copy has been applied that how the delay has occurred. 4. Keeping in view the nominal delay as such and the fact that the State is placed at a higher pedestal and since there is no inordinate delay, we are inclined to condone the same. 5.
