Bombay High Court

SANGRAMSINH VILASRAO GOLEKARversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH ITS PRINCIPAL SECRETARY AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court condoned the delay and restored the writ petition subject to payment of costs.

Summary

The applicant, Sangramsinh Vilasrao Golekar, filed a writ petition (Stamp No.14962 of 2025) against the State of Maharashtra and others. The petition had been delayed, prompting the respondent to raise objections. The Court, after hearing, condoned the delay in the accompanying civil application and ordered the writ petition to be restored, subject to the applicant depositing Rs.3000 as cost with the Government Cancer Hospital, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar within four weeks. The civil application was subsequently disposed of, and the Court directed that any office objections be removed within three weeks. The order reflects the Court's discretion to condone procedural delays and impose costs for restoration of the petition.

Issues considered

Whether the delay in filing the civil application warrants condonation?
Whether the writ petition should be restored despite the delay?
