THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.25325 of 2007 Between: K.V.Kumar. .. PETITIONER and The District Collector, Chittoor. .. RESPONDENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.25325 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner questions the order of the District Collector, Chittoor, dated 14-11-2007 in D.Dis.C1/1379/07, in rejecting to condone the delay of 13 days in preferring the revision on the ground that there are no probable grounds for condoning the delay of 13 days. A perusal of the impugned order goes to show that the petitioner has shown sufficient grounds for condoning the delay of 13 days, as the order copy of the Joint Collector, dated 24-08-2007, was received by the Clerk on 13-09-2007, but the same was handed over to the petitioner on 20-10-2007. Therefore, it cannot be said that no sufficient grounds have been shown to condone the meager delay of 13 days in preferring the revision. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the delay of 13 days in filing the revision before the District Collector, Chittoor, is condoned and the impugned order is set aside and the matter is remitted to the District Collector, Chittoor, to entertain the revision filed against the order of the Joint Collector in D.Dis.No.C1/362/05, dated 24-08-2007 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 30-11-2007 Prv
