CORAM : D. D. SINHA AND MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ. DATED : JUNE 22, 2010. P.C. : . Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and respondents. 2] In the present petition the petitioner is challenging the order of the lower appellate disciplinary authority dated 9/5/2001 whereby the appeal preferred by the petitioner against the order of disciplinary authority came to be dismissed. At the outset we went to express that the petitioner for the first time approached this Court against the said order after the lapse of more than 9 years. The delay in our view is inordinate and without any justification. 2 The petitioner is unable to point out as to why such an inordinate delay is caused in approaching this Court.There are no justifiable reasons placed before us to show indulgence in the matter. The delay being inordinate and unexplained cannot be justified and therefore the petition in our view needs to be dismissed on the ground of delay and latches. The petition is dismissed. (D. D. SINHA, J.) (MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR,J.)
