my view, having regard to the reason mentioned in the Civil Application for the delay in filing the same, as also having regard to the fact that the Petitioner is seeking the deletion of the Respondent No.5 from the array of the Respondents, it would be just and proper to restore the Writ Petition to file. The Civil Application is, accordingly, allowed in terms of prayer clauses (a), (b) and (c). Amendment to be carried out within one week from date. List the Petition for admission on 17th March, 2015. In the interregnum the Respondent No.13 to be served by private advocates notice intimating him that the above Petition may be heard finally on the said adjourned date. The other Respondents who are according to the learned counsel are already served may also be issued private notice informing them of the said date. The Civil Application is, accordingly, disposed of.
