A.M. Khanwilkar, J.1. This Civil Revision Application under Section 115 of the Civil Procedure Code takes exception to the order passed by the District Judge, Raigad dated 29th July, 1998 in Civil Misc. Application No. 114 of 1997. The said Misc. Application was filed for condonation of delay in filing the Appeal.
