Holding

The Court ordered the waiver of office objections and registration of the Miscellaneous Civil Application, thereby disposing the application.

Summary

The High Court of Bombay at Goa entertained a Miscellaneous Civil Application filed by the Goa Animal Federation seeking a waiver of office objections and registration of the application. The Court, having earlier allowed the Federation to assist in the hearing and be impleaded as a respondent, considered the request. No substantive legal issues were raised, and the Court found no impediment to granting the waiver. Consequently, the Court ordered the Registry to waive the objections and register the application. The application was thereafter disposed.
