1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1866 OF 2010 Shriniwas Printers Pvt.Ltd. ...Petitioner vs. Maharashtra State Bureau of Textbook Production and Curriculum Research (Balbharati) and others ...Respondents Mr.Prasad Ramchandra Baji in person appears None for the respondents CORAM :A.S.OKA,J. DATE : MARCH 17, 2010 P.C. 1 Heard the petitioner appearing in person. The petitioner filed an application purporting to be an application under section 5 of the Limitation Act,1963 for condonation of delay in filing a suit. By the impugned order, the said application has been rejected. 2 There is no provision of law under which a delay in instituting a civil suit can be condoned. The application made by the petitioner under section 5 of the Limitation Act,1963 was not maintainable. In fact, the trial Court ought not to have registered the application. It must noted here that the learned trial Judge has not rejected the application on the ground that the same is not maintainable, but he has rejected the same on merits. The learned trial Judge has totally ignored the basic principles of law. In any event, no interference is called for as the delay in filing the suit could not have been condoned. The Court is powerless to condone the delay. Hence, no case for interference is made out. Writ petition is rejected. JUDGE
