1 2633.11 SQP IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.2633 OF 2011 Gautam Nana Londhe ...Petitioner Versus State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents ...... Mr.S.P.Saxena for Petitioner. Mrs.S.S.Bhende, A.G.P. for Respondents. ...... CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND R.Y.GANOO, JJ. DATED:- JULY 28, 2011. P.C. 1. This Petition takes exception to the decision of the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal dated 6th August, 2009 in Misc.Application No. 333/2009. The Tribunal has rejected the said Application on the ground that the same suffers from gross delay of more than 14 years. The Tribunal has observed that the first representation of the applicant was rejected in 1993. The fact that the applicant engaged himself in making successive representation will not enure to the benefit of the applicant. That cannot be the basis to excuse the inordinate delay of 14 years. 2 2633.11 2. We are in agreement with the opinion so recorded by the Tribunal. Accordingly, we hold that the Application has been rightly rejected by the Tribunal. Hence, the Petition fails. The same is dismissed. (R.Y.GANOO, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
