Holding
The Court condoned the delay and restored the writ petition to its original position.
Summary
The applicants, Ramkisan Balasaheb Patil and others, filed a civil application seeking restoration of a writ petition (WP/676/2020) that had been dismissed in default because they failed to remove office objections within the two‑week period ordered on 24‑03‑2026. The application was filed 60 days after the deadline, raising the question of whether such delay could be condoned. The Court examined the reasons provided in the application and decided to condone the delay. Consequently, the civil application was allowed, the writ petition was restored to its original position, and the applicants were directed to remove the office objections within two weeks from the order. The civil application was thereafter disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the 60‑day delay in filing the application for restoration of the writ petition can be condoned.
- Whether a writ petition dismissed in default can be restored upon condonation of delay.
