Case Overview
- Applicant: ICICI Lombard General Insurance Co. Ltd., represented by Legal Officer NANDITHA PILLAI and Advocate James Lopes.
- Respondents: Audrey Diniz and two others, represented by Advocates A. Godinho and K. Dessai.
- The civil application (MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO.412 OF 2026, FIRST APPEAL NO.1518 OF 2026 (F)) sought condonation of a 53‑day delay in filing the appeal.
- The applicant explained that after obtaining the certified copy of the impugned order on 08‑Jan‑2026, the resignation of the officer handling the office caused a delay in forwarding the file for legal approval, which was finally obtained on 10‑Apr‑2026. Subsequent routing to the Regional Office at Hubli and Head Office at Bengaluru further extended the period.
Final Outcome
- Justice Valmiki Menezes condoned the 53‑day delay, finding the explanation acceptable, and ordered the application to be disposed of.
