Bombay High Court

MAMLATDAR OF BARDEZ, THR. MAMLATDARversusUMESH KUMAR PARASHAR

Disposal: Disposed of

Holding

The Court extended the time for disposal of the mutation proceedings to 30 September 2026.

Summary

The petitioner, Mamlatdar of Bardez, filed a writ petition seeking an extension of time to dispose of mutation proceedings pending before him. The respondent opposed the application, arguing that the statutory period should not be altered. The High Court examined whether the court could grant a further extension without violating procedural rules. Relying on its inherent powers to regulate its own procedure, the Court found no impediment to granting a modest extension. Consequently, the Court ordered that the time to dispose of the mutation proceedings be extended until 30 September 2026. The Miscellaneous Civil Application No.458/2026 was thereafter disposed.

Issues considered

Whether the time for disposal of mutation proceedings pending before the Mamlatdar of Bardez can be extended?
