Disposal

Holding

The court allowed the interim application despite the delay, as the respondents raised no objection.

Summary

The applicants filed an interim application before the Bombay High Court seeking to record the legal heirs of Appellant No. 1A. The application was filed 43 days after the date on which it should have been presented, raising a question of procedural delay. Respondent counsel, Mr. Shubham Dhenge, appeared on behalf of several respondents and expressed no objection to the filing of the interim application. The court considered the delay in light of the respondents' lack of objection and the necessity to record the heirs. Accordingly, the court allowed the interim application in accordance with prayer clauses (b) and (c), thereby permitting the legal heirs to be placed on record.

Issues considered

  • Whether an interim application filed after a 43‑day delay can be permitted in a civil appeal
  • Whether the absence of objection from respondents justifies condoning the delay

Subjects

  • interim application
  • legal heirs
  • procedural delay
