( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 13566 OF 2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 1999 OF 1991 Gundu Ramu Pandit Since deceased, by L.Rs. APPLICANTS VERSUS Hasan Nathu Tadvi and others RESPONDENTS ..... Mr. S.S. Kulkarni, advocate holding for Mr. V.T. Choudhari, advocate for the applicants. ..... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 4th January, 2010] PER COURT : 1. Heard learned advocate for the applicants. None for the respondents. 2. It is contended that the death of the petitioner was not known and, therefore, there was delay. It appears that there was communication gap due to old pendency of the petition. The delay is unintentional. I, therefore, accept explanation given in the application for condoning the delay caused in ( 2 ) bringing the legal representatives of the petitioner on record. The civil application is, therefore, allowed. The delay is condoned. The abatement, if any, is set aside and the legal representatives are directed to be substituted in the place of deceased petitioner. [ V.R. KINGAONKAR ] JUDGE NPJ/ca13566-09
