ORAL JUDGMENT :
1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith.
2. Heard finally by consent.
3. On going through the first impugned order dated 2.11.2012, I find that the entire order rests upon misconception of facts which are ::: Uploaded on - 04/04/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 05/04/2017 00:32:46 ::: J-cwp130.16.odt 2/3 otherwise clearly available on record. Learned Judicial Magistrate in paragraph 8 of this impugned order has reasoned that it is not the case of the petitioner that the uncle of Advocate Shri Khojre was not ill and did not pass away. On the contrary, say filed by the petitioner to the application for condonation of delay clearly reveals that it is the specific case of the petitioner that the uncle of Advocate Shri Khojre was not ill and did not pass away. This is evident from the submission made in paragraph 3 of the say filed to application of condonation of delay. Then, there was only a word against word and, therefore, it was necessary for the trial Court to have considered whether the explanation given by the respondent that the uncle of Advocate Shri Khojre was ill during the relevant period and he also died during the same period could be accepted or not by applying settled principles of law. It is worth mentioning here that nowhere in the proceedings initiated for condonation of delay in filing the complaint for dishonour of cheque, Advocate Shri Khojre has filed any affidavit on record to support the contention that his uncle was ill during some period of time. It was also not the case of the petitioner that he has personal knowledge about illness of uncle of Advocate Shri Khojre and also about his death owing to the illness. One does not know what was the source of information of the respondent about illness and death of uncle of Advocate Shri Khojre and in the absence of any such source of information having come on ::: Uploaded on - 04/04/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 05/04/2017 00:32:46 ::: J-cwp130.16.odt 3/3 record, it is doubtful if the contention that the uncle of Advocate Shri Khojre was ill and died due to illness could have been accepted by the trial Court according to law. All these facts and circumstances of the case, it appears have not been considered, rather considered in favour of respondent by wrongly assuming something which did not exist on record, by the trial Court. Same mistake has been repeated by the revisional Court.
4. In the circumstances, I find that the first impugned order dated 2.11.2012 and also the second impugned order dated 19.1.2016 respectively passed by the trial Court and the revisional Court are perverse and also against well settled principles of law calling for interference in exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction by this Court.
5. The writ petition is, therefore, allowed.
6. Both the impugned orders are quashed and set aside.
7. The matter is remanded back to the trial Court for considering the application for condonation of delay afresh in accordance with law.
8. Rule is made absolute in these terms.
