DATE : 5 th JANUARY, 2009 Heard Shri K.S.Narwade, Advocate, for the petitoiner and Smt. Wasnik, A.G.P. for respondent Nos. 1 & 2. It appears that the petitioner has challenged the order dated 24th September, 1992 , passed in Revenue Case No. 211/LND 31-77-78 of Kali (DK) by Member, Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, Nagpur, Camp at Yavatmal. Obviously, there is considerable delay in challenging the said order. The delay is sought to be explained mainly on the ground of illiteracy and lack of knowledge of the petitioner. It is stated that the petitoiner was waiting for considerable time in the year 1998 for restoration of the possession of his agricultural land and when he took out the proceedings, he came to know about the adverse order. Even thereafter, it 2 seems, the petitioner has not taken prompt steps. At least the reasons for such a long delay in preferring this writ petition is not borne out from the petition. Hence, this court cannot entertain the petition in its extra ordinary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. JUDGE Rvjalit
