DATE : 24th June, 2008. DATE : 24th June, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. By thess petitions, the petitioners are challenging the order passed by the Administration of the Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli at Silvassa as also the order passed by the Collector, Dadra & Nagar Haveli. 2. It appears that the lands which are subject matter of these petitions are government lands. As per the draft regional development plan, the lands are earmarked for industrial use. The government has granted that lands for setting up a sugar factory. On the grant being made, the grantee applied for permission to use the land for non agricultural purpose. That permission was granted by the order dated 4.7.2001. 3. When the application for N.A. permission was being considered, the petitioners did not raise any objection. The order is dated 4.7.2001 and Appeals were filed by the petitioners against that order in the year 2007. The Appellate authority by the order dated 1.5.2007 : 11 : had declined to condone the delay in filing the appeal. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioners. We have perused the record. 5. The petitioners have not placed any document on record which would show that petitioners have any right in relation to the land which is the subject matter of the order impugned in this petition. It appears that the petitioners have encroached on the land which belongs to the government and are now challenging permission granted in the year 2001 for the use of the land for non agricultural purpose. We do not find that there was any sufficient cause shown for condoning the delay. 6. In our opinion, in this situation, it will not be proper to exercise extra ordinary jurisdiction of this Court and entertain these petitions. 7. Petitions are, therefore, rejected. (D.K.
