This petition questions a certificate issued under the Bombay Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1947, on 14.3.1983. It is being questioned after 22 years. Even if the claim of the petitioners that they came to know of the said certificate in 2003 is accepted, there is unexplained delay of more than two years. In such a situation, the writ jurisdiction cannot be exercised. 2. Hence, the petition is dismissed. Acg.CHIEF JUSTICE SMT.N.N. MHATRE, J.
