Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra and others. ... Respondents Ms. J.S. Pawar, Additional Government Pleader for respondent-State. CORAM : J.N. PATEL, ACTING, C.J. & S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : 17H JUNE, 2010 P.C. The matter was placed before us pursuant to some communication received from the resident Deputy Collector, Solapur. He addressed the communication to the Assistant Registrar requesting him to place this matter before the court and seeking extension of time of three months to comply with the order of the court dated 25th February, 2010. 2. On the last occasion, we had observed that this is not the proper course for the Collector to adopt and he should move an application supported by his affidavit and set out reasons why he requires extension of time to comply with the court's order. No such application is forthcoming nor has the Collector filed any affidavit setting out the reasons for extension of time. Resultantly, no extension can be granted as prayed by the Deputy Collector. It is accordingly rejected. 3. Order passed today be communicated to the Collector, District Solapur. ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.
