Dave, CJ) Heard the learned Advocates. Looking to the facts of the case, we are of the view that the learned single Judge was justified in rejecting the petition, because the proceedings, which have been referred to by the appellant-petitioner in the petition were not relevant. The learned Advocate has mainly submitted that the costs imposed are quite heavy, as the appellant-petitioner belongs to a lower income group. He has earnestly requested that the amount of costs be reduced. Looking to the submission made by the learned Advocate, the amount of costs is reduced from Rs.5,000/- to Rs.2000/-. The appeal is dismissed subject to the above with no order as to costs. ANIL R. DAVE, CJ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 19th February, 2008 GRR To 1. 2.2 CD copies
