1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.6813 OF 2010 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court’s orders or directions and Registrar’s orders Court’s or Judge’s Orders Shri Shrikant Patil,Adv.for petitioner Shri K.G.Patil,AGP for State, Shri V.D.Sapkal,Adv.for R.6. CORAM : B.R.GAVAI & A.A.SAYED,JJ DATE : 27/09/2010 1] The petitioner challenges order dated 7/10/2008 rejecting proposal of the petitioner for starting Higher Secondary School/Junior College. No explanation is given as to why the petitioner has not approached immediately thereafter. No doubt, non exercise of jurisdiction on the ground of delay and latches is a rule of self-restraint. However, when the petitioner approached this Court belatedly, it is atleast expected that some plausible explanation be given in the Petition for delay in approaching the Court. 2 2] In that view of the matter, we are not inclined to entertain the petition in the extra ordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 3] However, we make it clear that dismissal of the present petition shall not come in the way of the petitioner in making application afresh and if such application is made, same shall be considered in accordance with law.
