// 1 // IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.7887/2007 Jaipur Development Authority, Jaipur Versus Jaipur Development Authority Appellate Tribunal, Jaipur and Another Date of Order ::: 15.09.2008 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Narendra Kumar Jain Shri Arvind Kumar Gupta and Shri Rinesh Gupta, Counsel for petitioner #### By the Court:- Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Petitioner Jaipur Development Authority preferred this writ petition challenging the impugned order dated 9th June, 2003 (Annexure-2) passed by the Jaipur Development Authority Appellate Tribunal, Jaipur. The writ petition was preferred before this Court on 22nd September, 2007, therefore, admittedly the writ petition has been preferred after a delay of more than four years and three months. A bare perusal of the writ petition shows that not a single reason has been mentioned in the entire memo of writ petition explaining the delay in filing of the writ petition. Although, it is correct that there is // 2 // no period of limitation prescribed for its filing but it is a settled law that it should be preferred as early as possible and if there is reasonable delay then that should be explained, which can be considered while entertaining the writ petition. So far as the present case is concerned, the petitioner has not explained the inordinate delay of four years and three months in filing the present writ petition, therefore, without going into merits of the case, I am of the view that this writ petition is liable to be dismissed only on the ground of delay in its filing. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed being highly belated. (Narendra Kumar Jain) J. //Jaiman//
