Basheer, J.

In this application filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, the prayer is

to condone the delay of 637 days in filing the appeal.

The impugned award was passed by the Tribunal on February 20, 2008. It

is admitted by the petitioner/appellant that copy of the award was received on

April 18, 2008. But according to him, he could not take steps to file the appeal

since he was not in a position to travel without the assistance of others due to

replacement of hip. Petitioner has not produced any other materials in support

of the above averment. We are afraid that on the face of the above sketchy

averments in the affidavit, the delay cannot be condoned. The so called

explanation is vague and unsatisfactory. Therefore, the delay petition is

dismissed.
