Shri P. S. Tiwari, learned counsel for the petitioner. Shri Chahande, learned counsel for the respondent. CORAM : R.M. SAVANT, J. DATED : 09/06/2011. The order impugned in the above petition is the rejection of the application for condonation of delay. The reason cited by the concerned Court is that no sufficient cause has been shown by the applicant-petitioner herein for seeking condonation of a huge delay of about two years and four months. It is well settled that the delay can be condoned only for justifiable reasons and not for the asking. The perusal of the application filed in the trial Court is bereft of any reasons, which can be said to constitute sufficient cause. The application can be said to be only in the nature of a speculative application, as the negligence and callousness of the applicant is writ large. In my view, no indulgence can be shown to such an applicant by exercising discretion. No case is therefore made out for interference in the writ jurisdiction. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
