: 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 1804 OF 2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 5448 OF 2008 1. Union of India & 3 ors. ... Applicants Vs Shri Gajanan Jayram Gothaskar. ... Respondents Mr. Vinay Masurkar with Mrs. N.V Masurkar for the applicants. CORAM: S.B. MHASE & R.M. SAVANT, JJ. DATED : 11TH SEPTEMBER, 2009. P.C.: 1. Heard. 2. This Civil Application is for extension of time for three months for implementation of the orders dated 13th April, 2009. By the order dated 13th April, 2009, this court directed that the said order shall be implemented within two weeks from the date of receipt of the order. It is nowhere disclosed in the application as to when the applicants have received the : 2 : order from the court. Obtaining a certified copy cannot be said to be a date of receipt of the order. Apart from that, it was desired that immediately the order should have been obtained and should have been implemented. What is interesting to be noted is that on 13th April, 2009, when the order was passed, nothing is done and for the first time, Civil Application is filed on 8th June, 2009. By that time, already the period of two months was over. Thereafter, the Civil Application, though filed, was not moved before this court till today. Today, the Civil Application is moved and now the applicants are praying for time to be extended for compliance of the order dated 13th April, 2009. The reason stated for not implementing the said order is that SLP has been admitted before the Apex Court. The learned counsel has clarified that there is no stay granted by the Apex Court at any point of time in similar matters and, therefore, it was all the more reason that the applicants should have obeyed the order. Be that as it may, what we find is that the reasons given for extension of time are not genuine and it seems that without reasons the order has not been implemented. 2. We extend the time by a period of four weeks from date, however, subject to cost of Rs.5,000/- to be recovered from the pay and salary of the officer who is responsible for the non implementation of the order. The : 3 : costs are directed to be paid to the respondent and receipt obtained. 3. Civil Application is, accordingly, disposed of. Sd/- Sd/- (R.M. SAVANT, J.) (S.B. MHASE, J.)
