1 3465.10-appln IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY. APPELLATE JURISDICTION. CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3465 OF 2010 Mr.Vilas Zode. ... Applicant. V/s. The State of Maharashtra. ... Respondent. Rajendra Sorankar for the applicant. Y.M.Nakhwa, APP for the State. CORAM: B.R.GAVAI, J. DATED : 22nd June 2011. P.C. : The chargesheet filed on 1st November, 2002 is sought to be challenged by the applicant by filing present application in 2010. It is a settled law that the person who invokes extra ordinary jurisdiction of this Court is expected to invoke it at the earliest opportunity. No doubt, this is a rule of a self-restraint and in the given case, if the applicant could make out a case for invoking jurisdiction even at the belated stage, the Court would not be precluded from doing so. However, on perusal of the present application, it reveals that apart from not giving any reason for belated filing of the application, there is no whisper of the same in the memo of application. In that view of the matter, application is liable to be dismissed on this short ground of delay and laches. Application is, thus, rejected. (B.R.GAVAI, J.)
