Hon'ble Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J.
Heard Shri Rajesh Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Shri Apurva Hajela, learned Standing Counsel for the State respondents.
The petitioners are before this Court assailing the validity of the impugned orders dated 20.8.2015 and 12.1.2006 passed by the respondent no.4, Executive Engineer, Rihand Bandh, Civil Khand, Pipari, Sonebhadra.
At the very outset, learned Standing Counsel has raised an objection regarding maintainability of the writ petition on the ground that the present writ petition cannot be entertained at this belated stage and the same may be dismissed on the ground of delay.
Once the objection is raised then the Court has proceeded to examine the record in question and also perused the report of Stamp Reporter, wherein it has been stated that the present writ petition has been filed with the delay of 1466 days'. No relief can be accorded to the petitioner at this stage.
In the facts and circumstances, the Court is not inclined to interfere with the impugned orders.
Consequently, the writ petition is dismissed on the ground of delay and laches.
