1. The present application has been preferred for seeking condonation of delay of 491 days caused in preferring the appeal against the impugned judgment and award dated 27.09.2023 passed in M.A.C.P.No.504 of 2011.
2. Learned advocate for the applicant submitted that owing to the poverty of the applicant, he could not prefer the appeal within the period of limitation.

Therefore, a delay of 491 days has occurred in filing the appeal.
