1 srk FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET APPELLATE SIDE Civil Application No.1104 of 2009 In First Appeal No.856 of 1984 ------------------------------------------------------------ Office Notes, Office Memoranda Court’s or Judge’s orders of Coram, appearance, Court’s orders or directions and Registrar’s orders ------------------------------------------------------------ Ms.G.P.Mulekar for applicant. Mr.R.S.Datar for resp.no.1F. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE &. D.G.KARNIK,JJ. March 4, 2009. P.C. . We have heard Ms.Mulekar, the learned AGP. This application prays for setting aside the orders passed by the Additional Registrar of this Court on 3/8/1993 and 22/9/1993. The order dated 3/8/1993 came to be confirmed as the appellant State did not take any steps to bring the LRs of respondent no.1(B) on record within the stipulated period of six weeks. . Mr.Datar has opposed this application and mainly on the ground that 2 it is being filed almost after sixteen years. . Though this application has been filed highly belatedly i.e. almost after about 16 years, the learned AGP has placed reliance on the decision in the case of N. Jayaram Reddy & anr. Vs. Revenue Divisional Officer and Land Acquisition Officer, Kurnool [(1979) 3 [(1979) 3 [(1979) 3 SCC SCC SCC 578] 578] 578] and subsequently followed in the case of Organic Insulations Vs. Indian Rayon Corporation Ltd. [(2003) 9 SCC [(2003) 9 SCC [(2003) 9 SCC 187] 187] 187] and submitted that the Additional Registrar fell in gross errors in dismissing the appeal when in Cross Appeal i.e. Appeal No.778 of 1984 the LRs of the very same respondent i.e. Shri Ramkrishna Balaji Walvekar were already brought on record as per the order passed by the Additional Registrar on 30/4/1991. We are satisfied that the law laid down by the Supreme Court in N. Jayaram Reddy’s case (Supra) is squarely applicable in the instant case as well. 3 . Hence delay condoned and the application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (b) as the orders passed by the Additional Registrar on 3/8/1993 and 22/9/1993 are void ab initio. (D.G.qKARNIK,J.)
