Heard on application for condonation of delay in filing appeal.
the Tribunal way back on 29.01.2011. The petitioner is an Insurance Company. Though it cannot be denied that some time may have been consumed in official communication, there is no explanation offered by the appellant company to condone such a long delay of almost 5 years. It is also seen that the Insurance Company has sought exoneration on the ground that the injured was a gratuitous passenger. A perusal of the award shows that very small amount of compensation has been awarded to the injured.
