Petitioner questions the sustainability of order dated 14.07.1984, passed by Director of Consolidation, Bihar, Patna (Annexure-3). By the said order the respondent Director has upheld the order dated 30.03.1981, passed by Deputy Director who, in turn, had confirmed the order dated 31.08.1976, passed by the Consolidation Officer. There is thus concurrent findings of the three Courts against the petitioner. In whole of the writ petition there is no explanation worth the name for filing the present writ petition after 26 years. Inordinate/abnormal delay in filing the writ petition, therefore, remained unexplained. Discretionary writ jurisdiction in such matter cannot be invoked. The application suffers from gross delay and latches. It is, accordingly, dismissed. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
