Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari, J.
The present intra-court appeal filed under Section 5 of the
Kerala High Court Act, 1958 arises out of the judgment dated
25.01.2011 passed in W.P.(C) No.2516 of 2011 whereby the learned
Single Judge has disposed of the writ petition holding that the
respondents are entitled to the arrears of 1997 pay revision effected
in the appellant-Corporation from 01.03.1997 till 31.10.1999 or the
respective date of their retirement, whichever is earlier.
2. The present appeal has been filed with a delay of 907 days,
for condonation of which C.M.Appln.No.1 of 2013 has been filed. The
reasons assigned for the delay in filing the appeal is that,
immediately after obtaining certified copy of the judgment, earnest
efforts were made by the appellant-Corporation to pay the amount
and for the said purpose, necessary request was forwarded to the
Government for sanctioning the required fund, and ultimately the
entire pay revision arrears were disbursed to the respondents herein.
