Uncontented with the order dated 12.03.2009 passed by the Karnataka State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (in short ‘the State Commission’) in complaint no. 95 of 1996, the complainant has filed the present appeal seeking upgradation of the relief by enhancement of the compensation so awarded to him. By the impugned order, the State Commission has partly allowed the complaint filed by the appellant and has directed the opposite party insurance company to pay a lump-sum compensation of Rs.5 lakh in full and final settlement of his claim with the stipulation to pay the amount within a period of 2 months from the date of the said order failing which the interest @9% p.a. would be payable on the awarded amount. The appeal has been filed after a delay of 303 days and an application for condonation of delay has been filed seeking condonation of the said delay. We have very carefully perused the reasons set-up in para 2 of the said application. In our view the said reasons do not explain the undue delay, what to talk of explaining the delay of each day in filing the present appeal. We are, therefore, not inclined to condone this undue delay in filing the present appeal. Counsel for the appellant states that once the appeal has been dismissed on limitation, he does not want to press the appeal on merits. The appeal is accordingly dismissed as hopelessly barred by time.
