This is a petition to condone the delay of 1931 days in filing the Writ Appeal. The reasons stated for the delay are only administrative reasons and there was communication gap between the various officers. It is stated that in order to examine the case of the petitioners, a lot of details had to be collected and by that time the concerned staff had been transferred out or retired. No justifiable reasons are stated to condone the long delay of 1931 days in filing the Writ Appeal. Hence, the delay petition is dismissed.
