1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE Writ Petition No.5490 of 2006 Bagwan Jamat Barsi Tabut Petitioner Vs. Md.Hanif Baban Saab Bagwan (Yedsikar) since deceased through his son Likayat Haji Md.Hanif Bagwan &ors. Respondents Mr.Shrishail Sakhare for petitioner. Mr.S.G.Kudale for resp.no.2. Ms.P.S.Cardozo, AGP for resp.no.5. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE, J. April 23, 2008 P.C. . Heard Mr.Sakhare, the learned counsel for the petitioners who claim to be the Trustees of Bagwan Jamat Barsi Tabut at Barshi and by the impugned order passed by the Joint Charity Commissioner on 11/2/1994 the Trust property admeasuring about 26.5 sq.mtrs. forming part of CTS No.2606 at Barshi was allowed to be sold to the highest bidder. . No satisfactory explanation has been furnished as to why the petition has been filed twelve years after the impugned order was passed and when the petitioners themselves claim to be some of the 2 Trustees of the very same Trust, they cannot be allowed to challenge the order after twelve years. The petition, therefore, suffers from latches and inordinate delays. On that ground alone, this petition cannot be entertained at this highly belated stage. . Hence the petition is rejected on that ground alone. (B.H.MARL
