The said petition was dismissed for non prosecution on 1/9/2005 and, therefore, this application has been filed belatedly for restoration of the same. As per the office note the application is beyond time by 270 days and though :2: there is a prayer for condonation of delay, there is no reason given in support of the same except to say that the Advocate concerned could not notice the board. The order dated 1/9/2005 specifically states that the petition came up for final hearing on 31/8/2005 when none appeared for the petitioners and even on the next date i.e. 1/9/2005 none appeared for the petitioners. 2. In any case the order impugned in the Writ Petition was an interlocutory order passed on 30/12/1998 directing the plaintiff to implead the Principal of the plaintiff’s college and one Mrs. Jayashree Patil as the defendants. Regular Civil Suit No.277 of 1997 has been pending for trial. 3. In these obtaining circumstances, there is no reason to entertain this application by condoning the delay. 4. Civil Application is rejected. :3: (B.H. Marlapalle,J.) (B.H. Marlapalle,J.) (B.H. Marlapalle,J.)
