The learned counsel for the respondent No. 1 does not oppose the said prayer, hence the prayer is allowed.

Considering their submissions as well as the reasons shown in the instant application, which caused the delay in filing of the connected appeal by the Insurance Company to be sufficient cause, the delay of 21 days in filing the connected appeal is hereby condoned. 6.
