Mr.S.J.Mishra i/b. SRS Legal for the petitioners. Mr.Niranjan Pandit, Asstt. Govt. Pleader for the respondent. ... CORAM : S.A.BOBDE, J. DATE : JULY 29, 2008. P.C. 1. By this petition, the petitioners challenged the impugned order dated 20.12.2005 by which the respondent has refused to refund stamp duty to the petitioner. There is no justifiable explanation for delay in approaching this Court. The petitioners’ application for refund of stamp duty was rejected on 20.12.2005 on the ground that they had not applied for refund within six months. The petitioners have not been diligent in taking any steps thereafter, except for issuing a notice on 4.1.2006. 2. The Writ Petition is devoid of any merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. S.A. BOBDE, J.
