Decided: 18 February 2026
Disposal: Allowed
Bench: A S GADKARI SHYAM C CHANDAK

Holding

The Court held that the petition may proceed only if the petitioner furnishes a spare copy within the stipulated time, otherwise it will be dismissed.

Summary

The petitioner, Balu Rama Subbu Swami, filed Writ Petition No. 6179 of 2021 before the Bombay High Court. The Court, consisting of Justices Nitin W. Sambre and R. N. Laddha, issued a procedural order concerning the submission of a spare copy of the petition. The order stipulated that if the spare copy is supplied within one week from the date of the order, the notice period for responding to the petition would be extended until 28 July 2023. Conversely, the Court warned that failure to comply with this condition would result in the dismissal of the petition without further reference. The order thus conditions the continuation of the petition on compliance with the procedural requirement. No substantive merits of the petition were addressed in this order.
