: 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION SECOND APPEAL NO.375 OF 2009 ALONGWITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.1289 OF 2009 Manohar Tukaram Shirsat & Ors. .. Appellants V/s. Pandurang Sambhaji Pawar & Anr. .. Respondents Mr. S.M. Gorwadkar for the Appellants. Mr. G.R. Agrawal for Respondent No.1. Mr. Kunal Cheema for Respondent No.2. CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED : 6 TH APRIL, 2010. P.C.: 1. The Second Appeal has been preferred against the Judgment and Order dated 15th July, 1992 passed by the VII Additional District Judge, Nashik, in Civil Appeal No.181 of 1988. According to the appellants, certified copies were received on 17th August, 1992 after which the present Second Appeal was filed. 2. It appears from the record that though the Second Appeal was filed, the appellants had not : 2 : taken any steps to remove the office objections for over 17 years. The Second Appeal was numbered only last year, i.e. in 2009, after the appellants rushed to remove the office objections on the execution proceedings being filed. 3. In these circumstances, I see no reason to entertain the present Second Appeal, which is delayed beyond reasonable time. In fact the inordinate delay of 17 years on the part of the appellants to have the Second Appeal listed before the Court disentitles them to any relief. 4. The Second Appeal is dismissed. 5. In view of the above, Civil Application No.1289 of 2009 pending in the Second Appeal does not survive and the same is dismissed as infructuous.
