Heard Mr. S. N. Adhyapak, learned counsel, appearing for the applicant. None appeared on behalf of the respondent, despite service of notice nor has filed any objection against the application for condonation of delay.

              This is an application for condoning the delay of 282 days in preferring the accompanying appeal. We have perused the statements made in the application. The grounds for delay has been explained at paragraphs 2 to 5 of the application. We have found that sufficient causes have been shown for not preferring the appeal in time. Thus, considering the statements made in the application, particularly, statements made on oath at paragraphs 2 to 5 of the application, also for the ends of justice, delay in preferring the accompanying appeal is condoned.

              Misc Case is allowed and disposed of accordingly.
