                                       ORDER

JUSTICE SHRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU:  PRESIDENT

The delay sought to be condoned is of 1162 days.  The reason mentioned in the affidavit filed by the Secretary of Thrissur Corporation is that he did not receive the free copy of the order.  He applied for an attested copy which he received only on 30/10/2009.  All the same he has sought for condoning the delay of 1162 days.

2. We find that the proposed appellant was represented by a counsel.  Hence there is no reason as to why he did not apply earlier for the copy of the judgment even if the true copy was not received.  We find that the reason mentioned is not sufficient to condone the inordinate delay. 

In the result the delay petition is dismissed. Hence the appeal is also dismissed.
