Shyamo Devi v. State of U.P., AIR 2024 SC 2862.
What did the court decide?
There is delay in challenging the impugned order dated 20th March, 2008 (Annexure-J) passed in LRF No.259/2007-08 and there is no acceptable reason to condone the inordinate delay of more than a decade in filing the writ petition. ¶35
