ssp 1 WP 3427 of 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.3427 of 2011 Gajanan Shikshan Sanstha, Anur, Tal.Kagal, Dist.Kolhapur .....Petitioner versus Appaso Daulu Khede and Ors. ..... Respondents Mr.Tanaji Mhatugade, for the petitioner. CORAM: RANJIT MORE, J. DATE: 2nd MAY, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. By the impugned order, the Joint Charity Commissioner, Pune/Kolhapur, dismissed the petitioner’s application for the condonation of delay of 19 months. The petitioner challenged the order dated 11­01­2006 passed by the Deputy Charity Commissioner in Change Report No.919 of 2004 before the Joint Charity Commissioner on 30­01­2008. Thus, there occurred delay of 19 months. The only reason for condonation of delay given by the petitioner was that he became aware of the order passed by the Deputy Charity Commissioner only on 18­01­2008, when his wife received letter from respondent No.1. The said reason found to be incorrect as petitioner himself applied for the certified copy of ssp 2 WP 3427 of 2011 the order of the Deputy Charity Commissioner dated 10­01­2006, by an application dated 16­01­2006 and the petitioner received the certified copy on 18­01­2006. The petitioner has not explained the delay after the receipt of the certified copy on 18­01­2006. In that view of the matter, the Joint Charity Commissioner refused to condone the delay. I do not find any error so as to exercise my jurisdiction under Article 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner however, submitted that the said application for certified copy was a forged one. This submission however, was not made before the learned Joint Charity Commissioner. There is no whisper in this regard in the petition also. There is nothing on record to substantiate this submission, as the same was made at the time of and for the sake of argument. Therefore, I am not inclined to accept the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner. Taking the overall view of the matter, I find the writ petition is without any substance, which is accordingly dismissed. ( RANJIT MORE, J. )
