1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH AT NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 4117 OF 2007. Vishwanath Pandurang Nandagwali Vs. Union of India & Ors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or Court's or Judge's Orders directions and Registrar's orders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM: ANOOP V. MOHTA & C. L. PANGARKAR, JJ. DATED : SEPTEMBER 17, 2008 The petitioner has challenged the order dated 21.04.2004 of respondent No. 4 rejecting the claim of the petitioner for disability pension. We have noted that there is no justification whatsoever given by the petitioner to file present petition at such a late stage. The continuous representations in no way be a ground for condoning the so called latches and delay and specifically in the present facts and circumstances of the case in view of the following observations given by the respondent in letter dated 02.08.2006: “Refer to your petition dated 03 April 2006 received through Army Headquarter letter No. B/41052/1/AG/PS-5 dated 10 May 2006. It is once again intimated that your disability 2 pension claim was rejected by PCDA (P) Allahabad vide their letter No. G3/84/2903/IX/426 dated 21 Apr. 1984 and facts has already been communicated to you vide this office letter No. 14549344/DP-9/Pen dated 22 Mar. 1984, with an advice to put up your appeal against the decision of rejection of disability pension claim on the grounds you deem fit to put forth within the period of six months with effect from 21 Apr. 1984. But you have failed to put up your appeal against the decision of disability pension within the stipulated period. The same has been communicated to you vide this office letter No. 14549344/DP-9/Pen dated 19 Apr. 1989. Hence no action can be taken at this belated stage.” In view of this we see that there is no reason to interfere with this matter on the ground of delay itself. JUDGE JUDGE svk
