For Appellant(s):
Mr. C. Harsha Raj, Special Government Pleader (taxes), For Petitioner For Respondent(s):
No Appearance For Respondent COMMON ORDER (Order of the Court was made by Anita Sumanth J.) CMP Nos.4802, 9098, 4809, 9099 and 9106 of 2025 have been filed seeking condonation of delay of 39 days in filing the Writ Appeals.
2. The affidavits accompanying the delay condonation petitions do not contain even a whisper of an explanation as to why the delay has been occasioned. Hence, we are not in a position to appreciate why the delay should be condoned at all.
3. Mr.C.Harsha Raj, learned Special Government Pleader who appears for the State would plead that the interests of the revenue should be taken into account that should not suffer on account of poor drafting.
4. We have noted in several cases that the delay condonation petitions are bereft of even primary details and contain no explanation whatsoever for the delay. The Court cannot be taken for granted in such a blatant fashion.
5. Taking into account the plea of the counsel, we condone the delay
putting the petitioner to terms. Upon the petitioner remitting a sum of Rs.10,000/- per petition to the High Court Legal Services Committee within a period of one (1) week from today, the delay of 39 days in filing the Writ Appeals are condoned and CMP Nos.4802, 9098, 4809, 9099 and 9106 of 2025 are ordered.
6. Upon compliance of the aforesaid terms, the Registry is directed to number the Writ Appeals, if they are otherwise in order, and list the same for admission. It is made clear that in the event of non-compliance, CMP Nos.4802, 9098, 4809, 9099 and 9106 of 2025 will stand automatically dismissed without further reference to the Court.
7. CMP No.9105 of 2025 filed seeking to dispense with the production of certified copy of common order dated 11.03.2024 passed in W.P.Nos.34792 of 2019 etc. batch is ordered.
