1 Wp no.4379/10 mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.4379 of 2010 Mukund Bhagwan Raut & ors. ... Petitioners versus Dattatray Jijaba Raut & ors. ... Respondents ... Ms.Dhawale Kiran i/b Dilip Bodake for the petitioner. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATED : 23rd July 2010 P.C. 1. The petitioners challenge the original order dated 3 November 2008 passed by the trial Court rejecting the application for appointment of TILR as Court Commissioner for measurement of the land and also the order dated 14 September 2009 rejecting the review application. 2. I am not inclined to interfere for reasons more than one. Firstly, there is a gross and inordinate delay in challenging the order dated 3 November 2008. Counsel sought to explain the delay by submitting that application for review was filed and therefore, petitioner is challenging both the orders. Even the review application was rejected on 14 September 2009. The writ petition has been filed on 7 May 2010 2 Wp no.4379/10 i.e after lapse of nearing 8 months of the order passed in the review petition. The delay is not satisfactorily explained. Petition is therefore liable to be dismissed on the ground of delay and latches. 2. The impugned order was passed on an interlocutory application for appointment of Court Commissioner. Since the order is interlocutory, it requires no interference in exercise of a writ jurisdiction. 3. Learned trial Judge has given cogent reasons for rejecting the application for appointment of a Court Commissioner. Application was made very late and after evidence of all the plaintiffs was over. No explanation was given why the application for appointment of Court Commissioner was made after the entire evidence of the plaintiff was over. There is no merit in the writ petition which is hereby rejected. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
