COMMON JUDGMENT

This Interlocutory Application is filed by the appellants under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 seeking condonation of a delay of 1469 days in preferring the accompanying Motor Accident Civil Miscellaneous Appeal (MACMA). The appeal is directed against the Award dated 09.11.2015 passed in M.V.O.P.No.39 of 2014 by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal- cum-VI Additional District and Sessions Judge, Siddipet (for short ‘the Tribunal’). Since the maintainability of the appeal is dependent upon the condonation of the delay, this application is taken up for consideration at the threshold.

2. Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned Standing Counsel for the respondent No.2 and perused the record.

3. The appellants, being the husband and children of late Radharam Bal Laxmi who died in a motor vehicle accident on 04.12.2013, filed a claim petition which was partly allowed by Award dated 09.11.2015,
