Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, NALANDA 3. THE SUB DIVISIONAL OFFICER, HILSA 4. THE S.D.P.O., HILSA 5. THE DISTRICT ARMS OFFICERS, NALANDA 6. THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE, HILSA 7. THE COMMISSIONER, PATNA DIVISION, PATNA …..RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 19.01.2009 Petitioner’s licence was cancelled by the District Magistrate, Nalanda at Bihar Sharif by order dated 30th of September, 1995. Against that, he preferred appeal before the Commissioner, which was dismissed for default by order dated 28.6.1999. Petitioner has chosen to file this application on 18.2.2005 assailing the aforesaid order. Mr. R.K.Priyadarshi, appears on behalf of the petitioner, whereas State is represented by J.C. to G.A.VII. No explanation at all has been offered as to why the petitioner had approached this Court so belatedly. On this ground alone, I am not inclined to enter into the merit of the case and direct for its dismissal on the ground of delay and latches. Writ application stands dismissed in limine.
