DATE : 29/03/2010 PER COURT : 1. This petition suffers from gross latches. The kerosene licence of the petitioner had been renewed up to 1991 and the petitioner sought renewal of the licence by submitting an application on 1/9/2009. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite submitting an application on 15/4/1995, the respondents have not renewed his licence. 2. In the petition, there is absolutely no explanation as to why the petitioner had not filed petition for last 10 years. This petition has been filed after more than 10 years for seeking writ to direct the respondents to renew the licence of the petitioner. On account of 2 latches, we are not inclined to interfere in this petition and the petition is summarily dismissed with no order as to costs.
