WP/3459/2010 : 1 : vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.3459 OF 2010 The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Petitioners V/s. Anand Balkrishna Kulkarni ... Respondent Mr.A.D. Kango, AGP, for Petitioners Mr.M.B. Gawade for Respondent CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 08.09.2010 P.C.: 1. The Petition has been filed against the order of the Industrial Court dated 15.12.2007. The Petition has been filed on 13.4.2010 after the period of almost three years. An explanation is sought to be given in the petition for this inordinate delay. According to the Petitioner, after the bureaucratic procedure was completed of correspondence from one department to another, the papers were finally sent authorizing the Government Pleader to file a writ petition in 2009. However, there is no explanation whatsoever as to why there was a delay of one year even after the Office of the Government Pleader received the papers. All that is mentioned is that there was a delay in getting the papers from the local advocate. In my opinion, no sufficient cause has been made out to condone the delay. 2. Petition rejected.
