Decided
Disposal
36-MCA DISPOSED OF

Holding

The Court restored the dismissed Special Civil Application, conditioning the restoration on removal of the office objections by 17 April 2026.

Summary

Munesh Kumar Shivdas Meena filed Special Civil Application No.21834 of 2025, which was dismissed on 20 November 2025 for failure to remove office objections within the time granted. The applicant subsequently filed a Miscellaneous Civil Application No.624 of 2026 seeking restoration of the dismissed case and condonation of a 20‑day delay in filing. The applicant’s counsel promised to remove the objections within any time the court might grant. The Court examined the application, found merit in allowing it, and ordered that the Special Civil Application be restored to its original file, subject to the applicant removing the office objections by 17 April 2026. Consequently, the restoration was granted with a condition for compliance.

  • Whether a Special Civil Application dismissed for non‑removal of office objections can be restored on a fresh application
  • Whether the Court can condone a delay of 20 days in filing the restoration application

Subjects

  • restoration
  • special civil application
  • office objections
  • condonation of delay
  • civil procedure
