JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges Ext.P4 issued on 9.12.2008. This writ petition is instituted nearly 10 months after the impugned order. No reason is stated for the delay in challenging Ext.P4. Not only that, Ext.P4 was an order that could have been challenged before the competent Tribunal for LSGIs. For such procedure, a time limit is prescribed. Having permitted time to run in relation to statutory proceedings, at this distance of time, it would be improper to extend the jurisdiction to grant relief to the petitioner. Hence, this writ petition is dismissed without prejudice to the petitioner's right, if any, to seek permit afresh under changed circumstances. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/051109
