NO 646 OF 2008\n                 --------------------------------------------------\n                      Dated this the 29th July 2008\n\n                                 JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n<p>     This is an application seeking for condonation of delay of 860<\/p>\n<p>days in filing the Regular Second Appeal. R.S.A is filed assailing the<\/p>\n<p>judgment of the first appellate court in A.S. No 204 of 2003 dated<\/p>\n<p>23.03.2005.     Copy of the judgment was applied for on 1.8.2007 after<\/p>\n<p>more than two years and four months.               Stamp papers called for on<\/p>\n<p>14.08.1007 were produced on 16.08.2007 and copy was taken<\/p>\n<p>delivery of on 17.08.2007.         But the appeal was filed with a further<\/p>\n<p>delay of almost three months on 14.11.2007.<\/p>\n<p>     2. In the affidvit filed by the appellant in support of the C.M.<\/p>\n<p>Application appellant has stated that the judgment was received on<\/p>\n<p>22.08.2007, but due to ill health and oldage she was bed ridden and<\/p>\n<p>was not able to approach her counsel at the proper time and only<\/p>\n<p>during    last month that she could contact counsel after getting<\/p>\n<p>recovery from her ill health and further that due to financial stringency<\/p>\n<p>she was not able to file the appeal in time and thus there occurred<\/p>\n<p>delay of 860 days in filing the appeal, which according to her, is not<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RSA 646\/08                           2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>wilful.\n<\/p>\n<p>       3. There is absolutely no averment as to why the application for<\/p>\n<p>copy was filed after two years and four months of delivery of<\/p>\n<p>judgment by the court below. Date of receipt of copy of judgment<\/p>\n<p>stated as 22.08.2007 also is not correct as copy was taken delivery<\/p>\n<p>of on 17.08.2007.        There is nothing on record to show that the<\/p>\n<p>appellant was suffering from any ailment at all or that she was bed<\/p>\n<p>ridden.    With such vague averments the delay of as much as 860<\/p>\n<p>days does not stand convincingly explained. Therefore there is no<\/p>\n<p>just and sufficient cause to condone the delay and to interfere with<\/p>\n<p>the rights that have accrued to the successful party by non filing of<\/p>\n<p>the appeal in time.\n<\/p>\n<p>       In the result, refusing to condone the delay of as much as 860<\/p>\n<p>days in filing the R.S.A,           I dismiss the C.M. Application.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently the R.S.A also stands dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                                Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>                                         K.P.
