Heard Ms. S. Roy, learned counsel, appearing for the applicant. None appeared for the respondent despite service of notice through paper publication.

                   This is an application for condoning the delay of 135 days in preferring the accompanying appeal. We have perused the statements made in the application. The grounds for delay has been explained at paragraph 4 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 paragraph 3 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.
