Das for Respondent. ----------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Court’s or Judge’s appearances, Court’s orders order or directions ----------------------------------------------------- ¦ ¦ ¦ CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH, J. ¦ DATED: 6TH JULY,2005 P.C.: By the order impugned the court has declined to condone the delay in filing the appeal.

Therefore unless it is shown to the writ court that the discretion vested in the court in this regard is abused by the court, the writ petition challenging such order cannot be entertained.

I do not find that the Appellate court has abused the discretion vested in it. Petition is rejected. ...
