ORDER

JUSTICE SHRI. K.R. UDAYABHANU:  PRESIDENT

The application is filed by the opposite party/appellant for condoning the delay of 2514 days.

2. In the affidavit filed in support of the petition by the complainant it is submitted that he was not properly informed and was given false information by the counsel, Mr.Santhosh Kumar.  According to him he came to know of the position only when notice in the execution petition was received.  It was on receiving notice in the execution petition that he applied for the order of the Forum.  Above is the reason mentioned for the delay of 2514 days.

3. There is no representation for the respondent/complainant.

4. We find that it is seen from the order of the Forum that the matter was a contested one.  Hence it cannot be believed that he was not aware of the decision of the Forum.  The order of the Forum is dated:26/02/2003.  The present appeal has been filed on 20/1/2010.  There is nothing to show that the petitioner has taken any steps against his counsel also.

In the circumstances we find that the reason mentioned for condonation of delay is not sufficient.  Hence the application to condone the delay is dismissed.   Hence the appeal is also dismissed.
