Holding
All interim applications were made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a).
Summary
The Bombay High Court heard a batch of interim applications filed in several statutory writ petitions (ST) against the Managerial Director of M/s. Hyundai Construction Equipment India Ltd. The petitioners sought relief under the prayer clause (a) and the court considered whether the delay in filing the writ petitions could be condoned and whether the respondents should remove office objections. The court, after hearing counsel, held that the delay was excusable and therefore condoned it. It directed that any office objections be removed within four weeks from the order date. The court further ordered that if the objections are not removed within the stipulated period, the earlier order dated 29 August 2024 shall be revived without further reference. Consequently, all the interim applications were made absolute in accordance with the prayer clause (a).
Issues considered
- Whether the delay in filing the writ petitions should be condoned
- Whether the respondents are required to remove office objections within a specified time
- Whether the interim applications should be granted as prayed for
Subjects
