                                                          DATE:          07 JULY 2026

                      P.C.

                      1.          The above Interim Application has been filed seeking condonation of a

                      delay of 32 days in filing the above Review Petition.

                      2.      Considering that the proceedings had, in fact, already been heard on an

                      earlier occasion and that no reply affidavit has been filed, we are of the view that, in

                      the interest of justice, the application deserves to be allowed. Accordingly, the

                      Interim Application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (b).

                      3.      The Interim Application stands disposed of. No order as to costs.




                              (AARTI SATHE, J.)                          (G. S. KULKARNI, J.)
