AMIT KANTILAL LUNKAD AND ANR vs AZIZ VAZIR KHAN AND ORS — WP/4854/2026

Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by defendants Amit Kantilal Lunkad and another, who sought to challenge the District Court's rejection of their delay condonation applications. The defendants, who defaulted on rent payments and failed to appear during trial, filed appeals 280 days late against eviction decrees. The court found their justifications—including mental trauma, financial constraints, and family hardship—vague and unsupported by documentary evidence, and noted that as renowned builders with litigation experience, they could have easily filed appeals timely. The court upheld the District Court's dismissal, emphasizing the defendants' negligent conduct both during trial and post-decree, and found no merit in the petitions.
