GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 28037 OF 2010 (D) ===================== Dated this the 9th day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner seeks a direction for the consideration of Ext.P10, a representation filed for an enquiry by the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau into the grant of a patta to the predecessors of respondents 4 to 21. Facts show that the patta in question was issued way back on 5/11/1979 in respect of 30 cents of land in RS 290/10 of Kattiparuthy village. 2. The challenge of the petitioner against the patta is on the ground that the grant of the patta was irregular. However, fact remains that despite the lapse of more than 30 years, petitioner or anybody else have not taken recourse to the legal remedies that were available against the grant of patta. At this stage, the issue raised is highly belated and for that reason, I am not persuaded to direct consideration of the representation. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
