¶41

produced at Annexure-J and accordingly sought for dismissal of the petition.

¶42

In the light of submissions made by learned counsel

¶43

appearing for the parties, it is not in dispute that the impugned memorandum is passed on 29.06.2007 and a perusal of writ petition would indicate that no explanation is made to condone

¶44

the delay of 18 years in filing the petition. In that view of the matter, following the declaration of law made by Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Shivamma (Dead) by LRs v. Karnataka Housing Board reported in 2025 SCC OnLine SC 1969 and in the case of H.Guruswamy vs. A.Krishnaiah reported in 2025 SCC OnLine SC 54, I am of the view that the writ petition deserves to be dismissed on the ground of delay and laches.

¶45

Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed.
