1 Wp No.8553/10 mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.8553 of 2010 Karbhari Ragho karande Deceased Rakhamabai Bhila Pungar & ors. ... Petitioners versus Haribhau Karbhari Kadnor & Anr ... Respondents ... Mr. P.N.Joshi for the petitioner CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J DATED : 15th November 2010 P.C. 1. This petition is directed against the order dated 5 August 2010 passed by the trial court rejecting the application of the petitioner to file additional written statement. Petitioners are the heirs of the original defendant. The original defendant filed written statement and died thereafter. Petitioners were brought on record some time in the year 2002. They did not file any additional written statement. On 25 April 2004, Court passed an order that no additional written statement was filed by the petitioner on they being brought on record. Thereafter, the petitioner made an application on 30th March 2009 for permission to file additional written statement. The delay of five years after the “No 2 Wp No.8553/10 additional written statement” order was passed against them, has not been satisfactorily explained in the application. I am not satisfied that there was any valid reason for not filing any additional written statement for a period of five years. No interference is called for in exercise of a writ jurisdiction. Writ Petition is rejected. (D.G.KARNIK, J)
