CAW/2466/2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO.2466 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO.1319 OF 2000 Chhotelal Nimar Vimal ... Applicant V/s. Akhtar Jalil Ansari & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. A.K. Jalisatgi for the Applicant. Mr. R.D. Oak for the Respondents. CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATE : 12 TH JANUARY, 2011. P.C. : 1. The Civil Application has been filed for restoration of the Writ Petition No. 1319 of 2000, which was dismissed in the year 2000 because of the non removal of the office objections. The Bhatta charges had not been paid and, therefore, the Writ Petition was dismissed for non prosecution on 22nd September, 2000. The applicant took no steps to remedy the situation for almost 10 years. The reason mentioned in the Civil Application for his failure to take steps was that he had migrated to his native place and he returned to Mumbai only in November, 2009, when he was informed that the Writ Petition has been dismissed for non- prosecution. 2. In my opinion, the reasons mentioned in the Civil Application are not sufficient for restoring the Writ Petition after 10 years. 3. The Civil Application is dismissed.
