Ganeshani Petitioner versus Senior Inspector of Police & anr. Respondents WITH CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.235 OF 2000 IN CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.892 OF 1999 Bhagwandas V. Ganeshani Petitioner versus Senior Inspector of Police & anr. Respondents WITH CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.893 OF 1999 IN WRIT PETITION NO.222 OF 1997 Jaiganesh Video Centre Petitioner versus Sr.Inspector of Police & anr. Respondents Mr.S.P.Kanuga for petitioner Mr.P.A.Pol, APP for respondents. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 21th September 2006 PC : 1. Although applications are styled as one for restoration, they are in effect seeking review of ((-2-)) this Court’s order dated 30th January 1999. 2. Shri Kanuga appearing in support of this application submits that this Court disposed of a group of matters by a common order but the facts in the case of present applicant i.e. petitioner in Writ Petition No.392 of 1997 are not identical. He indeed possessed a licence. 3. In my view, these applications are pending for past more than seven years and have not been prosecuted with the sense of urgency that is demanded and expected in such cases. Without deciding any wider questions including that of maintainability and purely on account of delay and laches present applications are dismissed. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
