No. 3265 of 2009 This I.A. has been filed for condoning the delay of about 19 days in filing the cross objection. Heard. On being satisfied with the grounds, the delay in filing the cross objection is condoned. I.A. No. 3265 of 2009 is disposed of. C.O. No. 14 of 2009 This Cross Objection has been filed by the defendant No. 2 -Sri Ram Mineral Company (SRMC for short) against the said findings of the trial court that - the plaintiffs have got prima facie case and the balance of convenience also lies in their favour.
