RAM SHOBHIT THAKUR S/O LATE DEVRANJAN THAKUR R/O VILL AJMATPUR, DEMU, P.S HAJIPUR, DISTT- VAISHALI ----------- 4. 09.02.2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner is the purchaser of the lands in-question through sale deed executed on 19th September, 1992. He is aggrieved by the order passed by the Deputy Collector, Land Reforms dated 15.05.1995, Annexure-2, whereunder the preemption case filed against him was allowed. He is also aggrieved by the revisional order dated 12.2.1999 passed by the Additional Member, Board of Revenue, Annexure-6, whereunder the Board of Revenue set aside the appellate order and maintained the original order allowing the pre-emption case. 3. The writ petition was presented for stamp reporting on 28.11.2007 with defects which were pointed out on 30.11.2007 but were removed only on 25.1.2010, whereafter the petition was filed on 1.2.2010. It is, thus, evident that petitioner is not diligent in pursuing the writ remedy which is urgent and efficacious in nature. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition which is dismissed on the ground of laches of more than 10 years. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
