( 1 ) THIS appeal has been filed along with LA. No. 1 for condoning the delay of 6 days in filing the appeal.. A. 1 and the appeal are taken up together for disposal. ( 2 ) AS the delay in filing the appeal is only six days, we were favourably inclined to condone the delay but since against the main judgment on which the impugned judgment is based, has already been dismissed in W. A. 1868/98, dated 11-6-98, we decline to do so as no purpose will be served in issuing notice to the respondents to come and defend the application for condonation of delay only. ( 3 ) THE appeal is dismissed in view of the orders in W. A. 1868/1998, dated 11-6-1998 [2004 (163) E. L. T. 303 (Kar.)].
