By this Interim Application, the Applicants have sought setting aside of the order passed by the Registrar (Judicial-I) in Writ KAVITA SUSHIL JADHAV Petition (St.) No.11422 of 2025 and for allowing the Applicants to by KAVITA SUSHIL JADHAV Date: 2026.02.03 11:32:19 +0530 remove the office objections.

1/3

2.

The Applicants have stated that upon filing of the Writ Petition, the objections had been raised and the matter had been listed on 7th April, 2025 for removal of office objections. The matter had again been listed on 24th April, 2025 on the board of Registrar, (Judicial-I) for removal of office objections and by Order dated 24th April 2025, the Registrar (Judicial-I) had granted two weeks time for removal of office objections which had not been removed. The office objections could not be removed and accordingly, the Writ Petition had been rejected.

2.

The Applicants state that they got knowledge of the rejection of the Writ Petition upon taking search of the matter. Accordingly, the present Interim Application has been filed for restoration of the Writ Petition.

3.

Having considered the averments in the Interim Application as well as noting that the Writ Petition came to be rejected for non removal of office objections, the Applicants being lay persons, should not be made to suffer particularly when the default in removal of office objections is at the hands of the Applicants' Advocates. The Applicants have in the Writ Petition which has come 2/3

to be rejected sought for payment of Old Pension and hence would suffer grave prejudice by non restoration of the Writ Petition. 4.

Accordingly, the following order is passed:

(i) The Interim Application is allowed.

(ii) The Writ Petition (St) No.11422 of 2025 is restored by recalling Order dated 9th May, 2025 passed by the Registrar (Judicial-I).

(iii) The Petitioners shall remove the pending office objections, within a period of three weeks from today. (iv) Non removal of office objections, would result in the rejection of the Writ Petition without further reference to this Court.

(v) The Interim Application is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no orders as to costs.
