VERSUS The Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd and another. Respondents. CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.KUMAR. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JORA SINGH. --- Present:- Mr.Sumeet Goel Advocate,for the petitioner. Mr.Dheeraj Chawla, Advocate, for the respondents. --- 1.Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? M.M.KUMAR,J. The instant petition is directed against the order dated 23.6.1998 to resume the Industrial plot No. 298, Udyog Vihar Phase-VI, Gurgaon after inordinate delay of over 10 years. The explanation tendered in paragraph 31 of the petition is that the writ petition was filed on 11.5.2001 vide diary No. 46556. Thereafter, the objections were to be removed. The explanation is that papers were lost in the office of one of the Advocates and it was only during the summer vacation of the year 2008 that when the file of C.W.P.No. 12902 of 2008. 2 such papers could be found in the Office of Shri Vijay Gupta, Advocate who has been constituted attorney of the petitioner. The aforementioned explanation does not inspire confidence and cannot be taken as the basis for condonation of delay because such an explanation can be tendered by any one. It is well settled that for filing a suit beyond initial period of limitation delay cannot be condoned. Even otherwise, in the cases where the delay is condoned, it is only when the petitioner has chosen a wrong forum under wrong legal advice that such like explanation could be accepted. There is thus an inordinate and unexplained delay in filing of the petition. Dismissed. (M.M.KUMAR ) JUDGE 17.12.2008 ( JORA SINGH) Anoop JUDGE
