APPLICANTS VERSUS The State of Maharashtra and ors. ... RESPONDENTS ------------------------ Mr. Rupesh Nalavade, Advocate for the applicants. Mr. P.I. Khemani, AGP. ------------------------ CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI, & A.A. SAYED, JJ. DATE : 21st July, 2009. P.C. 1. This civil application is taken out for restoration of Writ Petition No. 4424 of 2008. The writ petition was dismissed for default on 23.03.2009. Thereafter, learned counsel for the petitioners moved an application for restoration and the same was allowed by the Division Bench of this Court (V.C. Daga and Smt. Bhatkar, JJ) on 30.03.2009. The applicants were directed to pay costs of Rs. 1,000/- to the Kirtikar Law Library within two weeks. The order dated 30.03.2009 Ndm 2 caw.1568.09.sxw states that if the costs are not paid, the civil application taken out for restoration shall stand dismissed without reference to this Court. Since the costs were not paid as directed the petition came to be dismissed. Hence this application. 2. Learned counsel for the applicants states that he was under an impression that the petition was restored without any costs being imposed on the applicants. He states that it is only when the matter was listed on board on 21.04.2009 for orders, he came to know about the condition of costs. Learned counsel says that the costs will be paid within one week from today. 3. In the circumstances of the case, we increase the amount of costs to Rs.1,500/- from Rs.1,000/-. The applicants shall pay the costs of Rs.1,500/- to Kirtikar Law Library on or before 31.07.2009. Needless to say that if the costs are paid on or before 31.07.2009, the petition shall stand restored and not otherwise. Civil application is disposed of. A.A. SAYED, J. SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.
