1 mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.1008 of 2009 Shripatrao Vitthalrao Mohite (Decd by LRS Shantabai S. Mohite & ors. ... Petitioners versus State of Maharashtra through Secretary - Revenue & Forest Dept & ors. ... Respondents ... Mr. A.B.Avhad for the petitioner. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATED : 11th June 2010 P.C. 1. The impugned order was passed on 14th July 2005. The writ petition has been filed on 10th December 2008 i.e. after lapse of more than three years. There is no explanation for the delay in filing of the writ petition. The writ petition is therefore liable to be rejected on this ground alone. Even otherwise, writ petition is liable to be rejected on merits. The case of the petitioner was that there was a partition and therefore his holding was less then the prescribed limit for the purpose of acquisition by the rehabilitation officer under the Resettlement Act. The learned Commissioner has held that there was no partition. This finding of fact is not shown to be perverse. Writ Petition is accordingly rejected summarily. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
