GOVARDHAN MOHANLAL VIYAS SHARMA vs MOHAMMAED WASIM FAROOQUI AND ANOTHER Advocate - Rathi Swapnil S., R/1 SERVED — CA/3157/2015

The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) rejected an application for condonation of delay in filing an appeal against a 2011 MACT award. Applicant Govardhan Sharma sought to appeal a tribunal decision that partially allowed his Rs. 3 lakh compensation claim for injuries from a 2008 road accident, awarding only Rs. 1.54 lakh, but filed 1156 days late. The court found no sufficient cause for the three-year delay, rejecting arguments of unawareness about appeal limitations and financial constraints, emphasizing protection of the insurance company's rights.
