                        JUDGMENT

Koshy, J.

The wife of the first appellant died in a motor

accident. He, along with the children, applied for

compensation claiming an amount of Rs.2,66,000/-, since

his wife was getting Rs.1,500/- per month. The Tribunal

awarded an amount of Rs.2,12,600/- with interest at

12%. The accident occurred in 1999. This appeal is

filed with a delay of 1415 days. The only reason stated

is that he is disabled due to hyper tension. No

medical certificate is produced. No valid reasons are

also stated in the affidavit to condone the long delay

of more than three years. Therefore, the delay

condonation application is dismissed. Consequently,

the appeal is also dismissed.
