1 IN THE HIGH COURT JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1313 of 2010 1.Shri.N.D.Sahare & ors. ...Petitioners vs. 1.State of Maharashtra & Anr. ...Respondents --- Mr.Vachha S. i/b. Mr.Vishwasrao S.Deokar, for Petitioners. Mr.S.R.Nargolkar, AGP for Respondent nos.1 & 2. --- CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED: 17TH FEBRUARY,2010 P.C.: 1. By this petition, the petitioners challenge a detailed order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal rejecting the application filed for condonation of delay. Perusal of the order shows that the cause of action had accrued to the petitioners in the year 1993 and he had filed the 2 Original application in the year 2009. The Tribunal has considered every relevant aspects of the matter and has held that there is no room to condone the delay. The condonation of delay is in the discretion of the Court. Once the Court exercising that discretion has declined to condone the delay, this Court in its extraordinary jurisdiction is not justified in interfering with the order. The learned Counsel appearing for petitioners submitted that though the cause of action had accrued in the year 1993, the information was not available at that time and that information was available only after the Right to Information Act came into force and therefore, the Tribunal should have condoned the delay. This contention cannot be accepted, because in the year 1993 there was no attempt made by the petitioners to collect the information which was necessary for raising such contention. The nature of the documents is not confidential, they are regular records such as Government Resolutions and Seniority List. If the petitioners would have applied for the same earlier, they would have been available to the 3 petitioners earlier. We do not find that the delay can be condoned for such reasons. The petition is, therefore, rejected. (D.K.DESHMUKH,J.) (A.R.JOSHI,J.)
