Holding

The Court waived the office objection, extended the time for disposal to 15 May 2026, and disposed of the application.

Summary

The Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (Applicant) filed a miscellaneous civil application seeking the registry to waive an office objection and to register the matter. The Respondents, Bina Baburao Karekar (through POA) and Nitin Vasant Karekar, opposed the objection. The Court considered whether the registry could dispense with the procedural objection and whether additional time should be granted for the pending GIDC proceedings. It noted that the GIDC was scheduled to hear the parties and finalize arguments on 30.04.2026, necessitating an extension. Accordingly, the Court ordered the waiver of the office objection, granted an extension of time until 15.05.2026, and disposed of the application.

Issues considered

Whether the registry may waive the office objection raised against the application.
Whether the Court should extend the time for disposal of the proceeding given pending GIDC arguments.
