Mr. J. J. D'costa, Development Officer of LIC - respondent no. 5.

Mr. Ahmed Padela i/b. The Law Point, Advocate for respondent nos. 1 to 6.

P.C.:

The present Chamber Order is taken out by the applicant for setting aside Order dated 13.02.2024, rejecting captioned Petition under O.S.Rule 986 for non-compliance of office objections.

Heard ld. Advocate for the applicant. Perused Affidavit in Support, contents of which are self-explanatory.

It is contended that inadvertently, Advocate on record missed the matter, so also, the applicant was travelling due to which legible copies of documents could not be obtained and therefore, office objections remained to be complied with. Ld. Advocate for the applicant submits that he will pursue with the captioned petition diligently if it is restored to file.

Ld. Advocate for respondent nos. 1 to 6 objected the present Chamber Order and submitted for passing suitable orders.

Considering reasons put-forth on oath by the applicant, I am of the view that the applicant should get one opportunity to pursue with the captioned Petition. Further, no prejudice would cause to the respondents if captioned petition is restored to file since they can contest the Petition on merits, so that, substantial justice can be taken care of. In view thereof, in the interest of justice, the
