This Petition challenges the order passed on 4th September, 1997 by the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, Pune. In my opinion, this Petition suffers from laches and, therefore, need not be entertained. 2. An explanation is sought to be given by the petitioners in paragraph Nos.57 to 64 for the delay in filing this Petition, the main contention is that the Petition had been prepared in 1997 itself and due to inadvertence was not filed by the Advocate who was entrusted the matter. This submission, in my opinion, cannot explain away the inordinate delay of 11 years in filing the Writ Petition. 3. The Petition is rejected.
