1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR CAZ No.121/2009 in LPA No. 60//2005 in Writ Petition No.4288/2004 All India reporter Limited though its Managing Director Vs. Liladhar R. Selokar and others. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's order Judge's orders and Registrar's order ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Coram : A.P. Lavande And P.D. Kode, JJ. Dated : 4th March 2009. Heard Mr. Mohokar, learned counsel for the applicants-respondents and Mr. Thakur, learned counsel for appellant. By this application, the respondents seek dismissal of Letters Patent Appeal on the ground that the issue involved in the LPA is squarely covered by the judgment in the case of Fulchand Bapurao Gedam, Nagpur Vs. Lokmat Newspapers Ltd. Nagpur : 2007 III CLR 619 . This position has been seriously disputed by Mr. Thakur, learned counsel for the appellant. Mr. Mohokar does not dispute that the appeal was admitted after hearing both the sides on 12.10.2006. When the appeal is admitted, ordinarily it has to be decided after hearing the parties. We strongly deprecated the practice of filing such application. Filing of such application is nothing but abuse of process of the Court. 2 Accordingly, we dismiss the application with costs of Rs. 5000/- (Rs. Five thousand only) in favour of the appellant. The costs shall be paid within a period of six weeks. Application stands disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE Ambulkar.
