Orders. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. P.B.Patil, Advocate for the petitioner. Mrs. Dangre, Addl.G.P. for respondent no.1. CORAM : J.N. Patel & F.M. Reis, JJ. DATE : 6.4.2009 In view of the fact that this application was listed on the last date and the time given to the respondents to decide the representation of the petitioner will expire, we are extending the time till 15th April, 2009. This court makes it clear that the authorities should refrain from taking benefits for seeking extension of time for complying with the orders merely because parliamentary elections have been declared. We find that the respondents have otherwise failed to comply with the orders of this court as sufficient time was available even prior to declaration of elections. Therefore, in future such application for extension of time will not be entertained. The application stands disposed of accordingly. The copy of this order duly authenticated by the Court Sheristedar be furnished to the learned Addl. G.P. for communicating it to the concerned officers for compliance of the orders.
