Union of India Vs. Amar Enterprises

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-10-1989

Reported in: 1992(61)ELT218(Bom)

S.K. Desai, J.1. This is an appeal from the decision of the writ Court given on June 10, 1987 in Writ Petition No. 423 of 1981. It speaks volumes of the efficiency of the Central Government Advocate that the belated appeal which was lodged on 9th December, 1987 came up for admission sometime in August, 1989. Even before the single Judge the respondents to the petition, i.e., the appellants before us had remained absent. We asked the learned Advocates for the appellant the reason why a motion was not taken out before the single Judge or other appropriate Judge for setting aside the ex parte order on the writ petition (on showing sufficient cause for the absence) and for obtaining a rehearing of the same. The only explanation we have been given is that this course was not followed on the advice of the Deputy Legal Advisor, Ministry of Law. Obviously this advice had to be given because the appellants did not take out a Motion within the period allowed or because there was no sufficient ca...
