Heard Mr. K.M. Mahanta, learned counsel, appearing for the applicant.  None appeared on behalf of the respondent when the matter was called on. However, objection has been filed by the respondent against the application for condonation of delay. We have perused the same.

              This is an application for condoning the delay of 128 days in preferring the accompanying appeal. We have perused the statements made in the application. The grounds for delay has been explained at paragraph 2 (a) and 2 (b) 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 2(a) and 2 (b) 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.
