: 1 : vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO.2054 OF 2009 IN REVIEW PETITION ST.NO.7724 OF 2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO.1565 OF 1994 Anil Somnath Shelagaonkar ... Appellant V/s. M/s.Dorabjee & Company ... Respondent Mr.P. Bhargude for Appellant None for Respondent CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 20TH AUGUST, 2009 P.C.: 1. The civil application has been filed for condoning the delay of 4½ years in filing the review petition. The reason stated in the civil application for approaching this Court in a review after such a belated period is that the applicant was not aware about the petition being dismissed. It is contended that he had approached a local advocate who informed him that once the matter was admitted in Court it would take about 10 to 15 years before the matter would come up for final hearing and, therefore, the applicant did not pay any attention to the matter. 2. In my opinion, this is hardly a reason for condoning the delay. The applicant has not stated the name of the advocate nor the date on which he approached the advocate and was informed that the matter would not reach. In any event, it appears that from the record that the applicant had not filed the Vakalatnama of any advocate and therefore, this contention in the civil application cannot be accepted. 3. Civil application is dismissed. 4. Review Petition is also dismissed.
