1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1656 OF 2009 Shri Uday Jivaji Kulkarni ..Petitioner. V/s. Sou. Rohini Ravindra Joshi & Ors. ..Respondents. Mr. Vijay Killedar for petitioner. Mr. Tushar Pimple for respondent Nos.1 & 2. CORAM : J.P.DEVADHAR, J. DATED : 15TH JULY, 2009. P.C. :- 1. Heard learned counsel for the rival parties. This petition is filed to challenge the order dated 18/11/2003 passed by III Additional District Judge, Sangli below Exhibit 27 in Misc. Civil Appeal No.43 of 2003. The appeal filed by the petitioner has been dismissed inter alia on the ground that the suit itself has become infructuous. Although, the counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the Suit has not become infructuous, in view of the gross delay in filing the present Writ Petition, I see no reason to interfere with the impugned order. The only explanation given is that the earlier Advocate had opined that the impugned order is not detrimental to the interest of the petitioner. If that be so, it is evident that the petition has been filed as an afterthought. 2. In this view of the matter, the petition is dismissed with no order as to costs. (J.P.DEVADHAR, J.)
