( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 1274 OF 2010 Shivling s/o Rachappa Hengne PETITIONER VERSUS The Divisional Controller, M.S.R.T.C., Latur & others RESPONDENTS WITH WRIT PETITION NO. 1279 OF 2010 Shivling s/o Rachappa Hengne PETITIONER VERSUS The Divisional Controller, M.S.R.T.C., Latur & others RESPONDENTS ..... Mr. R.K.Ashtekar, advocate for the petitioner in both the petitions. ..... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. ] [DATE : 3rd May, 2010] PER COURT : 1. Heard counsel. 2. The petitioner’s application for condonation of delay for period of 5 years 9 months and 22 days came to be rejected. The petitioner sought condonation of delay caused in filing of appeal against judgement rendered by ( 2 ) the Residential Deputy Collector (R.D.C.). By that judgement, the eviction of the petitioner was directed under the provisions of the Bombay Government Premises (Eviction) Act, 1952. The petitioner asserted that he was unable to file the appeal due to medical problems. He asserted that he was mentally disturbed and, therefore, could not arrange for filing of the appeal. There was no evidence adduced as regards his mental state-of-affairs during the relevant period. No medical certificate was filed. The learned District Judge, therefore, rejected the application. 3. Having heard learned counsel and on going through the impugned judgement of the learned District Judge, it is amply clear that the petitioner failed to give any justification for the delay. The cause shown by him was too vague. It was not corroborated by any iota of evidence. Consequently, the impugned order is quite legal and proper. No interference is called for. Accordingly, both the petitions are dismissed. [ V.R. KINGAONKAR ] ( 3 ) JUDGE NPJ/wp1274-1279-2010
