DATED DATED DATED : MARCH 05, 2009 : MARCH 05, 2009 : MARCH 05, 2009 P.C. . Heard Counsel for the Petitioner. 2. Going by the application which was filed before the Court below (Exhibit 22), absolutely no exceptional circumstance has been made out to persuade the Court to excuse delay in filing written-statement which was of more than 90 days. The record indicates that summons was served on the Petitioner on 17th March, 2008 in terms whereof the Petitioner made appearance before the Court on 27th March, 2008. As no written-statement was filed, the Court had no option but to pass no written-statement order on 23rd April, 2008. Notably, present application has been filed only on 7th August, 2008 without offering any explanation except the vague and general statement made that the Petitioner is 2 illiterate which is a normal excuse given in every such application. Hence, no interference is warranted in exercise of writ jurisdiction. Dismissed. [A.M.KHANWILKAR,J.] [A.M.KHANWILKAR,J.] [A.M.KHANWILKAR,J.]
