Holding
The Court held that sufficient cause existed to condone the delay and therefore restored the writ petition.
Summary
The petitioner, Parmeshwar Ambadas Chopade, filed an interim application seeking restoration of his writ petition (No. 17145 of 2024) which had been dismissed on 27 November 2024 for failure to remove an office objection. The application also requested condonation of a 167‑day delay in filing the restoration request. The Court examined the pleadings and heard counsel, finding that the petitioner had shown sufficient cause for the delay. Accordingly, the Court condoned the delay, ordered the writ petition to be restored to the Court’s file, and imposed costs of Rs. 2,500 on the petitioner. The interim application was disposed of after granting the relief sought.
Issues considered
- Whether the 167‑day delay in filing the interim application for restoration can be condoned.
- Whether a writ petition dismissed for non‑removal of an office objection may be restored upon condonation of delay.
Subjects
- restoration of writ petition
