1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. WRIT PETITION NO.2884 OF 2008 (SURESH WASUDEORAO BURANGE Vs UNION OF INDIA & OTH.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders ______________________________________________________________________________________________ CORAM : D.D.SINHA & A.P.BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : JULY 21, 2008. 1. Heard Shri N. Fadnis, learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The writ petition is directed against order dated 27.03.2008 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Nagpur, whereby the Miscellaneous Civil Application of the petitioner in Original Application No.2203/2001 came to be dismissed. 3. Considered the contentions canvassed. Perused the impugned order. It shows that the matter was listed before the Court on 14.03.2005 for hearing. The learned counsel for the 2 petitioner was absent and, therefore, it was adjourned to 24.03.2005. On that date neither the petitioner nor his counsel was present before the Tribunal, hence, the Tribunal dismissed the matter for want of prosecution on 24.03.2005. The petitioner filed an application on 02.01.2008 i.e. after expiry of 34 months. The reason given for delay is hopelessly inadequate to condone the said inordinate delay. Hence, the conclusions arrived at by the Tribunal are just and proper needs no interference. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE RR.
