HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.32162 of 2011 Dated:08.12.2011 Between: Naseem Unnisa and another … Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.32162 of 2011 O R D E R: An order of rejection of No Objection Certificate (NOC) to enable the petitioners to take up construction was passed against them as early as on 24.06.2006 on the ground that the land in question is a Government land and NOC cannot be granted to them. While the order of rejection aforesaid was not questioned by the petitioners all these years, it is now questioned on the basis of an alleged subsequent event which is referred to in Paragraph No.9 of the affidavit. The said subsequent event is based upon the averments made by the Government as respondent in a contempt case relating to some other plot holder. The petitioners, therefore, cannot revive an otherwise stale cause of action on the basis of subsequent event aforesaid in the counter affidavit filed by the Government in contempt case relating to some other plot holder. If the petitioners are so advised, it is open for them to make fresh applications to the respondent for consideration thereof, but the mandamus sought for in the present case clearly suffers from latches and delay. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J 08.12.2011 KH
