W.P.(C) NO.81 OF 20178.2.2017 Heard learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition has been filed assailing the order dated 21.12.2010 passed by th
e revisional authority in R.P.Case No.1065/2005 under the O.S.& S. Act, 1958. This writ petiti
on has been filed after seven years of the impugned order. There is no plausible cause shown i
n filing the writ petition after seven years. This Court is not satisfied with the reason what
ever assigned therein. Since there is seven years delay, this Court is not inclined to enterta
in the matter as it disturbs the settled position of law in the meantime.
The writ petition stands dismissed.Biswanath Rath, J.2
