CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR Present: Mr. Raj Kumar Gupta,Advocate for the appellant 1.To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2.Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. The instant appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgment dated 31.7.2009 rendered by the learned Single Judge in CWP No. 822 of 2008. The learned Single Judge has concluded that there is 6 years delay in filing the writ petition. The cause of action arose to the petitioner after the decision of statutory appeal on 13.3.2002 (P.7) and the writ petition from which the instant appeal emerged was filed in 2008. Even for filing a civil suit, maximum period of three years has been provided and the same period can be judicially invoked for filing of the writ petition which is maximum. In that regard reliance may be placed on a judgement of the Constitution Bench of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in the case of State of M.P. and another. v. Bhailal Bhai and others AIR 1964 SC 1006. Having heard the learned counsel, we are of the considered view that no interference would be warranted in the opinion expressed by LPA 1387 of 2009 2 the learned Single Judge. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (Mehinder Singh Sullar) 3.8.2010 Judge okg
