OMP(M) No.251 of of 2025 The present application has been filed for condonation of delay of 150 days in filing the present appeal. It has been averred that the impugned judgment was passed by learned District Judge on 01.08.2024. Learned counsel for the applicant had applied for certified copy of impugned judgment on 27.09.2024 and the same was delivered on 22.10.2024. However, the disposal of the case was not within the knowledge of the applicant as the same was never intimated to the applicant by its counsel. Earlier also, due to inefficiency and lackadaisical attitude of the said law firm, namely, M/s M.V. Kini & Co, cases were withdrawn from it. Therefore, it has been prayed that the delay in filing the appeal is neither intentional nor willful, but the same has occurred due to unavoidable circumstances. Learned counsel for the non-applicant has no objection in case the application is allowed. Consequently, in view of the averments as made in the application, which is duly supported by an affidavit and in view of submissions as made by learned counsel for the applicant, the present application is allowed and delay in filing the appeal is condoned.
