1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.1658 OF 2011 (Sau. Aruna H. Giri and another vs. The Addl. Commissioner and others) __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri Vishal Anand, Advocate for the petitioners. Shri A.D. Sonak, Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent nos. 1 to 3. ------- CORAM : R.M. SAVANT, J. DATED : JULY 25, 2011 The above petition takes exception to the order dated 17/3/2005 passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Amravati and the order dated 11/9/2006 passed by the Additional Commissioner, Amravati Division, Amravati whereby the Application as well as Revision filed by the petitioners came to be rejected. It is pertinent to note that the petitioners seek to challenge the order passed as long back as on 11/9/2006 on the ground that the land in question falls within the Municipal area and, therefore, the 2 Bombay Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1947 is not applicable. It is not necessary to go into the merits of the matter as the petition challenging the order dated 11/9/2006 is highly belated and, therefore, suffers from delay and laches. The petition is, therefore, dismissed on the said ground. JUDGE khj
