1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 947 OF 2008 IN APPEAL FROM ORDER (ST) NO. 11344 OF 2007 [REJECTED CASE NO.665 OF 2007] Prabhakar Shankar Dalvi .......Applicant Verus The Mumbai Municipal Corporation and Ors. ........Respondents Mr.Rajendra K.Yadav, adv.for applicant. Ms.Geeta Joglekar, adv.for respondent no.1. Mr.Sushil Matkar, adv.for respondents no.5 and 6. Coram: Smt.R.P.SondurBaldota, J. Dated : 21 st August, 2008. P.C. : 1. The appellant had filed Appeal from Order (St) No.11344 of 2007 alongwith an application for condonation of delay. That application was dismissed for default on 7th June, 2007. Consequently the Appeal from Order was also dismissed. He now desires restoration of the Civil 2 Application and has presented Civil Application for the purpose. As there is substantial delay in taking out the same, it is accompanied by another Civil Application for condonation of delay. In the entire Civil Application, there is no cause whatsoever shown for not filing the application for restoration within the prescribed period of limitation. The application merely contains details as regards the representation made by the applicant before the Mumbai Municipal Corporation for considering the eligibility of the applicant for alternate accommodation. That application has been rejected by the concerned authority. The applicant claims to have come across additional evidence which would entitle him grant of alternate accommodation. It is seen that the applicant has completely ignored the present proceedings and has been attending to the representation made by him before the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. Since, there is no ground whatsoever stated explaining the delay, there is nothing for consideration of the court on merits. Any steps taken by the applicant for prosecuting his representation before the Mumbai Municipal Corporation cannot help him in condonation of delay. Hence, Civil Application is dismissed. No order as to costs. [Smt.R.P.SondurBaldota, J] 3
