Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr.Sanjiv Pandit ,Advocate for the appellant 1.To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2.Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. This appeal filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against the judgement and order dated 2.3.2009 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in CWP No.3226 of 2009. It has been held by the learned Single Judge that the petitioner could not have raised an issue with regard to title of land claimed to have been conferred on him by the allotment more than 40 years ago. An application under Section 42 of the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act 1948 was filed on 19.8.2004 which was decided on 28.4.2006. The land is claimed to have been allotted in 1952-53. Even the order dated 28.4.2006 was challenged on 22.2.2009 in CWP No. 3226 of 2009. We find that absolutely stale claim has been brought to the Court after inordinate delay of 40 years without tendering any explanation for such delay. There is no ground to interfere in the view taken by the learned Single Judge. The LPANo. 840 of 2009 2 appeal does not warrant admission. Dismissed.
