( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 994 OF 2010 WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 999 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 45 OF 2003 Kishirao s/o Kishan Pawade APPLICANT VERSUS Bhajan Math Wadi Buzurg, through Gyanobarao s/o Suryabhan Since deceased by L.Rs. Raju s/o Bhaurao Pawade and others. RESPONDENTS ..... Mr. S.M. Kulkarni, advocate for the applicant. ..... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 11th February, 2010] PER COURT : 1. Heard counsel. 2. The applications are for condonation of delay and bringing the legal representatives of deceased respondent No. 2-c and deceased respondent No. 2-a on record, after setting aside the abatement. It appears that the petitioner could not move the application because death certificates were not being issued by the ( 2 ) Village Panchayat. The delay is caused due to inaction on part of the Village Panchayat. The fact that said respondents died is explicit. The counsel for the respondents No. 2-a and 2-c did not inform the Court about death of these respondents as required under Rule-10A of Order-XXII of the Civil Procedure Code. Consequently, in the interest of justice, the applications are allowed. The delay is condoned. The abatement is set aside. The legal representatives of the deceased respondents No. 2-a and 2-c be substituted in place of each of them, respectively, by carrying out suitable amendment in the title clause of the petition within one week. No costs. [ V.R. KINGAONKAR ] JUDGE NPJ/ca994-2010
