1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR CAZ NO. 411/2011 IN LPA ST. NO. 5527/2011 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 2709 OF 2006 (The Asstt. Engineer Irrigation Research Sub-Dn. vs. Shri Baliram Krishnaji Kubade) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI & P.D. KODE, JJ. AUGUST 11, 2011. Heard Shri Fulzele, learned AGP for the applicant and Shri Bhoot, learned counsel for the respondent. Perused reply opposing prayer for condonation of delay. Perusal of application itself reveals that for challenging order dated 08.10.2000, the sanction was granted on 03.02.2011, the application / proceedings were drafted on 22.02.2011 and SDO has sworn affidavit on 17.03.2011. Thus, after 22.02.2011, period of about three weeks has been taken just to swear an affidavit. However, as we do not see any malafides, we are inclined to condone the delay. Shri Bhoot, learned counsel submits that the respondent is still not reinstated and Court below has declined back wages. In the circumstances, subject to the applicant paying cost of Rs.2,000/- to present respondent within a 2 period of four weeks from today, delay is condoned. If the cost is so paid, office to register LPA and place it for further consideration. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
