1 mst IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.294 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.402 OF 2011 Niranjan Prakash Ambekar Petitioner versus The State of Maharashtra and others Respondents Roopesh Jaiswal for petitioner. Ms.M.H.Mhatre, APP for respondent no.1. CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR AND P.D.KODE, JJ. DATE : 12th September 2011 PC : 1. We may agree with the argument of the learned APP that the writ petition having been disposed of in terms of self operative conditional order dated 18th February 2011, the present application simplicitor praying for extension of time is not sufficient. However, in the interest of justice, we would accept the submission of the petitioner that if the Court would extend time to amend the petition, implicit in that would be to recall the conditional order dated 18th February 2011. 2. As aforesaid, in the interest of justice, we allow this application in terms of prayer clause (a). The criminal application is disposed of. We make it clear that in terms of this order Writ Petition No.402 of 2011 will stand restored to its original number and the petitioner is free to carry out the amendment in the petition on or before 17th September 2011 failing which the earlier conditional order shall stand 2 revived. Subject to above, list the writ petition on 20th September 2011. Ordered accordingly. (P.D.KODE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
