Disposal: Disposed of
Bench: VALMIKI MENEZES

Holding

The court held that the application is allowed, the legal representatives of the deceased respondent shall be added as respondents, and notice shall be issued to them.

Summary

Anagha Ashok Nadkarni filed Miscellaneous Civil Application No.114 of 2026 and Writ Petition No.1644 of 2025 (F) in the High Court of Bombay at Goa seeking to waive the registry’s office objections and to amend the pleadings by adding the legal representatives of the deceased respondent, Bablo Babu Kinlekar, as respondents. The applicant contended that the amendment was necessary to give proper notice to the heirs and to enable the court to adjudicate the dispute. The court examined whether any substantive objection existed to the amendment and whether procedural compliance was satisfied. Finding no objection and satisfied procedural requirements, the court ordered that the application be allowed, the legal representatives be added as respondents, and notice be issued to them. Consequently, the amendment was to be effected forthwith, a notice was to be issued returnable on 20‑04‑2026, and the application was disposed of.

Issues considered

What is the appropriate procedure for waiving the registry’s office objections in a miscellaneous civil application?
Can the legal representatives of a deceased respondent be added as parties through amendment at this stage?
Is the court required to issue notice to the newly added respondents?
