IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY
B. P. Colabawalla, Firdosh P. Pooniwalla, JJ
Payio Ashihio – Appellant
Versus
Union of India & Ors – Respondent
WRIT PETITION NO. 3784 OF 2025



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Dhruv Janssen Sanghavi, Tejas Popat, Aanchal Maheshwari
For the Respondents: Anil C. Singh, Pavan Patil

The court may grant a final adjournment to accommodate the appearance of a high-ranking government legal officer, provided it is explicitly stated that no further delays will be permitted to protect the interests of parties traveling from abroad.

Headnote:The matter involves a Writ Petition where the Revenue sought an adjournment to allow the Solicitor General of India to appear. The court noted that the matter had been adjourned several times previously at the instance of the Revenue. The primary issue was whether a further adjournment should be granted despite previous delays and the fact that the petitioner's counsel travels from outside India. The court reasoned that while the appearance of the Solicitor General is significant, the repeated delays must end. Stand over to 30th July, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.

Table of Content
1. request for adjournment by the government to ensure appearance of the solicitor general. (Para 1)
2. granting of a final adjournment while cautioning against further delays due to international travel of opposing counsel. (Para 2 , 3)
3. administrative directive regarding the digital signing and service of the court order. (Para 4)

P. C.

1. Mr. Anil Singh, the learned ASG, mentioned the above matter stating that the same is listed on 9th July, 2026, at 3 p.m., for hearing. He submitted that the Learned Solicitor General of India will be appearing in the above matter and requested that the matter be adjourned for a period of three weeks.

2. We find that the above matter has been adjourned on several occassions at the instance of the Revenue. As a last chance, and considering that the Learned Solicitor General of India would be appearing in this matter, we place the above Writ Petition on board on 30th July, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.

Considering that the counsel appearing for the Petitioners comes from out of India to address this Court, we have made it clear to the Revenue that no further adjournments will be granted.

3. Stand over to 30th July, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.

4. This order will be digitally signed by the Private Secretary/ Personal Assistant of this Court. All concerned will act on production by fax or email of a digitally signed copy of this order.
