On going through the copy of the order passed in Civil Application No. 2032/2010 in First Appeal Stamp No. 3196/2010 with connected matters, my learned Brother (Hon’ble Shri Justice S.P. Deshmukh) vide order dated 22.03.2013 was pleased to condone the delay. The present appeal is also arising out of the same award and project. I do not see any reason to take different view. The delay needs to be condoned in view of the earlier order passed by my learned Brother in Civil Application No. 2032/2010 in First Appeal Stamp No. 3196/2010. By taking the same view, this application needs to be allowed.
