1 SBCivil Writ Petition No.7009/2010 Pankaj Gandhi v. The RIICO & Ors. Date of Order :: 2nd August, 2010 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Anurag Shukla, for the petitioner. .... The petitioner applied for allotment of land at I.T. Park, Mewar Industrial Area (Extension), Udaipur. The application aforesaid came to be rejected by respondent Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation Limited (RIICO) somewhere in the year 2007. A challenge to the same was given by way of filing a petition for writ before this Court which came to be disposed of on 3.4.2008 with a direction to the Corporation for reconsideration of the petitioner's case sympathetically. The RIICO in pursuant to the order aforesaid considered case of the petitioner and did not find the proposal submitted by the petitioner appropriate for allotment of land at I.T. Park, Udaipur. The amount deposited by the petitioner in a tune of Rs.2,00,000/- was also refunded accordingly. Being aggrieved by the decision aforesaid, this petition for writ was presented on 11.8.2009 i.e. 2 after a lapse of about a year from the date of decision by the RIICO. In entire petition for writ no reason is given for causing such delay for filing the writ petition. The petitioner, if had any grievance with the decision communicated to him under letter dated 30.8.2008 then he should have approached this Court as early as possible but in the instant matter the petitioner waited for a period of about a year without any just reason and he also accepted the amount refunded by the respondents. The delay occurred and latches on part of the petitioner in approaching this Court to invoke the extraordinary jurisdiction is fatal. Accordingly, the petition for writ is dismissed.
