mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 5181 of 2008 IN FIRST APPEAL NO. 1791 of 2007 Malati rajaram Parshetye .. Applicants versus Purushottam Shankar Shetye (decd) Vasundhara P.Shetye & Ors. .. Respondents ... Mr.U.S.R. Singh for the applicants. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J DATED : 24th October 2008 P.C.: 1. This application is for fixing a specific date for hearing of the appeal on the ground that the applicant is an old lady. It appears that the suit was filed by the applicant through a Power of Attorney holder, copy of the P.A is filed at page 159. The suit relates to a pan-bidi shop. The appellant is residing at her native place and therefore Power of Attorney holder was appointed for managing the shop. It thus prima facie appears that it is the Power of Attorney holder who is persuing the litigation and is perhaps interested in the pan-bidi shop. In my view, no ground for giving preference in hearing by fixing a date of hearing is Even otherwise considering the present pendency, it is not possible to hear the appeal presently by giving precedence over the First Appeals which are pending over a decade. In the circumstances, the civil application is rejected. (D.G. KARNIK, J)
