Per Mr.S.M.Shembole, Hon`ble Presiding Judicial Member.

1.       None for appellant is present, its counsel Shri.K.A.Kadam is also absent. Respondents are not yet served with notice.  The record reflects that it was directed to issue notice to respondent on delay condonation application, but no notice appears to have been issued as appellant has not made necessary compliance.  The record further reflects that nobody for the appellant is present since 8.5.2013.  However on last date the matter was adjourned till today by way of last chance. But today also nobody for the appellant is present.

2.       The record further reflects that there was inordinate delay of more than 128 days for filing appeal. We have perused the application for condonation of delay and we find that there was more than 188 days delay.  Even applicant/appellant has disclosed in the application for condonation of delay as to when it received the copy of impugned judgment and order.  It is merely averred that approval of its head office was not received in time. But no reasons are given as to why approval was not given by its head office within the stipulated period of limitation or any reasonable period. Therefore we find no just and reasonable ground to condone such inordinate delay. 

3.       Thus on any count appeal deserves to be dismissed and accordingly, it is dismissed.  No order as to cost.
