Ext.P3 order is dated 25.1.2005. Now that revenue recovery proceedings have been initiated in December 2007, this writ petition has been filed on 4.1.2008 challenging Ext.P3. 2. There is absolutely no explanation for the delay involved in filing the writ petition. In my view, this writ petition is highly belated and in the absence of any explanation, this writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
