Summary
The applicant, Vaishali Anil Tikam, filed an interim application seeking condonation of a 51‑day delay in filing a revision application against the State of Maharashtra.

Consequently, the Court allowed the interim application, condoned the delay, ordered the revision to be registered, and directed that it be placed on the board on 11 September 2026. The interim application was thereafter disposed.
