P.C. 1.These Notices of Motion have been taken out by the applicants for setting aside the order dated 8[th] October, 2015 passed by the Prothonotary and Senior Master for non-removal of office objections under Rule 986 of the Bombay High Court (Original Side) Rules and to condone the delay of 109 days in filing the present Notices of Motion. 2.We have perused the affidavit-in-support of the notices of motion and find that there was some difficulty in locating the documents which had to be filed consequent to the objections. It was this delay in locating the documents that led to non removal of the office objections within the stipulated time and also in taking out the present notice of motion. 3.Mr. Malhotra, learned Counsel for the Revenue states that the documents which were not available are now available. 4.In the above view, we condone the delay of 109 days in taking out the present notice of motion as well as set aside the order dated 8[th] October, 2015 passed by the Prothonotary and Senior Master. 5.It is made clear that the applicants should remove the office objections and have the Appeals numbered within two weeks from today, failing which this order stands vacated without further reference to the Court.
