We have heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned counsel for the respondents. We have perused the affidavit in reply filed by Dattaram Laxman Andher, C.A. of respondents 3(a) to 5(a). Learned counsel for respondents 3(a) to 5(a) submits that there is gross delay in filing the civil application. It is true that there is some delay in filing this application, however the explanation offered by the applicant appears to us to be satisfactory. We feel that in the interest of justice the writ petition deserves to be restored. Hence the application is made absolute in terms of prayer clauses (a) and (b) . (Smt. Ranjana Desai, J.) (A. A.
