(1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, AURANGABAD BENCH, AT AURANGABAD. WRIT PETITION NO. 1474 OF 2011 Satyawan s/o. Ramling Jadhav, Age : 44 years, Occupation : Agriculture, R/o. Tuljabhavani Road, Deepak Chowk, Tuljapur, District : Osmanabad. .. Petitioner. versus The State of Maharashtra, through its Secretary, Revenue & Forest Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai-32, and 6 others. .. Respondents. ....................... Mr. M.B. Kolpe, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. S.K. Tambe, Assistant Government Pleader, for respondent nos.1, 2 and 3. ........................ CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 3RD MARCH 2011 (2) COURT'S ORDER : 1. Heard Adv. Mr. M.B. Kolpe, appearing for the petitioner, and learned AGP Mr. S.K. Tambe, appearing for respondent nos.1 to 3. 2. The petitioner has challenged the order dated 20-9-2010, passed by respondent no.2 / Deputy Director (Land Record), Aurangabad, in Appeal No. 123/2002. 3. Application for condonation of delay was moved jointly by the present petitioner with other respondents. The certified copy used was applied for by one of the respondents and procured way back on 29-11-1997. The application was filed in the year 2001 along with appeal challenging that order. This period of 4 years after receipt of certified copy has not been explained. The appellate authority has, therefore, refused to condone the delay. 4. Adv. Mr. M.B. Kolpe, appearing for the petitioner, contends that the petitioner was not party to those proceedings and he was not even aware of the receipt of certified copy. The copy was not received by the petitioner but it was received by one of the applicants. (3) 5. When application for condonation of delay is moved jointly by parties, such segregation as attempted by Adv. Kolpe cannot be accepted. If the petitioner has got any other remedy, in law, he is free to take recourse to it. 6. I do not find any jurisdictional error or perversity with the impugned order. 7. In the result, the petition is dismissed. No costs. ( B.P. DHARMADHIKARI ) JUDGE ......................... bgp/wp1474
