1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD Civil Application No.9229 of 2009 In W.P.No.465 of 2000 with C.A.No.9237 of 2009 In W.P.No.3801/1999. _______________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | _______________________|_______________________________________ 1. Heard counsel. 2. The applications are for setting aside abatement, condonation of delay and bringing the L.Rs. on record. 3. The explanation given by the applicants is that they were not knowing about pendency of the litigation which was being looked after by their father. They further submit that the present petition was one of the petitions amongst a group of similar petitions. They further explain that after death of their father, they were engaged in sugarcane cutting work during crushing season and had to go out of the village. Thereafter, they were required to collect death certificate of the father when they gathered information about dismissal of the petition. 4. Considering the explanation set out in para 3 of the application and the fact that the petition is one of the petition amongst group of similar other petitions, it would meet the ends of justice to condone the delay and allow the substitution of the L.Rs. The delay appears to be unintentional. The applicants appear to be illiterate, labours and poverty stricken persons. Hence, I accept the explanation stated in the application. 5. For the reasons stated above, the delay is condoned. The abatement is set aside and legal representatives are directed to be substituted in place of deceased petitioner. The applications are disposed of. (V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) Dt.25.01.2010. asp/office/Ca9229.09
