Summary
The petitioner filed Writ Petition (L) No. 15993/2024 in the High Court of Bombay. The Court noted that the petitioner had paid a cost of Rs. 1,500 on 27 July 2026 as ordered. The petition was subject to office objections under O.S. Rule 986. The petitioner’s counsel submitted a praecipe on 10 August 2026 seeking relief. The Court, exercising its discretion, granted a final opportunity to the petitioner to remove the objections by filing a compliance praecipe and to have the petition registered or numbered. The deadline for compliance was extended to 17 August 2026. Failure to comply will result in the petition’s rejection for non‑compliance of office objections.
