Bombay High Court

M/S. DJS LOGISTICS PVT. LTD. AND ORSversusTHE JOINT COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS

Decided: 29 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The Court held that the delay was condonable and the order refusing registration of the writ petition was recalled.

Summary

M/s. DJS Logistics Pvt. Ltd. and others filed an interim application seeking condonation of delay and removal of an office objection that had led to the refusal to register their writ petition. The respondents, the Joint Commissioner of Customs and others, opposed the application. The Court examined the reasons for the delay and the oral submissions made by the parties. It held that the delay was condonable and that the earlier order refusing registration for non‑removal of the office objection should be set aside. Consequently, the Court allowed the interim application, recalled the earlier order, restored the writ petition to the file, directed the removal of office objections within two weeks, and fixed a date for listing the petition. The decision restores the petitioners’ right to proceed with their writ petition against the customs authorities.
