IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CIVIL JURISDICTION LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO.202 OF 2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO.4417 OF 2009 Sarika Machindra Nalwade @ Sarika Ambadas Pawar... Appellant Versus The Chairman, Vidyarthi Hitwardhak Mandal and others. ... Respondents Ms. Bhavika S. Kawle for the appellant. CORAM : SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. & A.M. KHANWILKAR, J. DATED : 30TH NOVEMBER, 2009 P.C. The present appeal is directed against the order dated 23rd July, 2009 wherein the learned Single Judge upheld the order of the Tribunal dated 21st April, 2009. Both, the Tribunal and the learned Single Judge, have found that the applicant has failed to show sufficient and reasonable cause for condonation of delay. In fact, it has been noticed that no just and sufficient cause has been shown. The explanation rendered by the applicant was found to be untenable. It is a matter of exercise of judicial discretion on the basis of settled principles of law. No interference in Letters Patent Appeal is warranted against the exercise of judicial discretion by the learned Single Judge. The appeal is dismissed. CHIEF JUSTICE A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.
