MHATRE, J. DATED: APRIL 28, 2008 APRIL 28, 2008 APRIL 28, 2008 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . This application has been moved for restoring the criminal Writ Petition No.2163 of 2004 to the file of this Court. The criminal writ petition was dismissed since office objections were not removed pursuant to the order passed on 24.7.2006. It appears, however, that the office objections were in relation to the service of the writ petition on the respondents. An affidavit of service had been filed by the petitioner consequent upon the order passed on 8.12.2004, regarding the service of the notice through speed post, etc. That order also directed that an affidavit of service should be filed. Accordingly, the petitioner had complied with the order and therefore, the question of furnishing spare copies for the purposes of serving the respondents did not arise. The order dismissing the petition will therefore : 2 : have to be set aside. 2. Although there is considerable delay in filing this application, it has been explained. Therefore, the delay is condoned. The criminal application is allowed. Criminal Writ Petition No.2163 of 2004 is restored, subject to payment of costs of Rs.1,000/- to the Maharashtra State Legal Services Authority. However, the stay order granted earlier is not restored. 3. Place the Writ Petition for admission on 2.6.2008.
