Holding
The Court restored the writ petition and extended the time to remove office objections by two weeks.
Summary
The petitioners filed Writ Petition (ST) No.14571/2026 which was dismissed by the Registrar for failure to remove office objections within the time prescribed in the order dated 6 August 2026. The petitioners subsequently filed an interim application seeking restoration of the dismissed writ petition, contending that the application was filed within the limitation period. The Court examined whether the filing complied with the procedural time limits and found that it did. Consequently, the Court allowed the interim application, restoring the writ petition. It also extended the deadline for the petitioners to remove the office objections by two weeks from the date of uploading the order on the High Court website.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petition dismissed for non‑removal of office objections can be restored when the restoration application is filed within the limitation period?
Subjects
- restoration of writ
- office objections
- procedural limitation
- interim application
- civil appellate jurisdiction
