Holding
All interim applications were made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a).
Summary
The Bombay High Court considered a batch of interim applications filed in several service writ petitions against the Managerial Director of M/s. Hyundai Construction Equipment India Ltd. The petitioners sought relief under the prayer clause (a) and raised concerns about procedural delays and office objections. The respondents opposed the interim applications, arguing that the relief was unwarranted. Justice Amit Borkar, after reviewing the applications, granted all of them as absolute relief per the prayer clause, condoned the delay in filing the writ petitions, and directed that any office objections be removed within four weeks. The court further ordered that failure to remove such objections would revive the earlier order dated 29 August 2024 without further court reference.
Issues considered
- Whether the delay in filing the writ petitions should be condoned
- Whether the interim applications seeking relief under prayer clause (a) should be granted
- Whether office objections must be removed within a specified time and the consequences of non‑compliance
Subjects
- interim relief
- service writ petition
- condonation of delay
- office objections
- high court order
