This is an Application for restoration of Writ Petition (L) No. 17236 of 2023, which was dismissed pursuant to the Order dated 1st April 2025 passed by the Prothonotary and Senior Master of this Court. The Petition was dismissed for non-removal of office objections within two weeks from the uploading of the said Order dated 1st April 2025. 2. Learned Counsel for the Applicants submitted that the supriya SUPRIYA PRAMOD JAWARE Digitally signed by SUPRIYA PRAMOD JAWARE Date: 2026.10.15 15:55:10 +0530 2 of 2 8-IA-2126-2026 lapse was inadvertent and not intentional. The Order shows that the conditional order was passed in five Petitions together. The Applicants’ Petition was at 4th position, and therefore, the notification was received by the Advocate only in respect of that first Petition. In that view of the matter, he was not aware that the Petition had been dismissed for non-removal of office objections. 3. Considering this explanation, in the interest of justice and in order that the litigant may not suffer, we are inclined to allow this Application. Hence, the following Order :- ORDER (i) The delay of 195 days in filing the present Application is condoned. (ii) The Writ Petition (L) No. 17236 of 2023 is restored to its file. (iii) The office objections shall be removed within a period of six weeks from today. (iv) The Application is disposed of. (RANJITSINHA RAJA BHONSALE, J.) (SARANG V. KOTWAL, J.)
