IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 2486 OF 2000 IN SECOND APPEAL NO. 465 OF 1994 Shankar Channappa Patil ..... ...... ......Applicant. V/s Krishna Murari Patil & Ors. ........ ......Respondents. Mr.M.R.Suryawanshi, Adv. For the applicant. Mr.S.V.Sadavarte, Adv. For respondent No.1. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 6th JANUARY, 2009. PC: This application is filed by the original appellant in Second Appeal. By the present application two fold prayers are made (i) for condonation of delay and (ii) for setting aside the order dated 21.3.1997 dismissing the appeal for non-removal of office objections. Appeal was admitted on 5.8.1994. On account of non-removal of office objections appeal came to be dismissed. It is stated in the present application that the advocate appearing for the appellant due to oversight did not notice the case and hence no steps were taken either to remove office objections or to have the appeal restored after the same came to be dismissed. This Court by an order dated 4.7.2000 after hearing counsel for the appellant granted an order of 1 status quo and on account of grant of said order the interest of the appellant had been protected. Having regard to the totality of facts and circumstances and in view of the averments made in the application I allow the same by condoning delay. Order dated 21.3.97 dismissing the appeal for non removal of office objections is set aside. Appeal is restored to file. Application stands disposed of. 06.01.2009. 2
