The writ petition filed in the year 2018 was dismissed by the

Division Bench of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, for being

not satisfied with the cause stated towards an inordinate delay of

about three years in approaching the Court.

Seeking to question the said order of the High Court

22.11.2018, the present petition seeking leave to appeal has been

filed on 07.10.2021. The application seeking condonation of delay

mainly states the reason that the matter was under examination at

“various levels” and then, a few decisions of this Court are

referred to submit that certain amount of latitude is not

impermissible in regard to delay in litigation brought about by the

State.

The said decisions do not make out any case for condonation of

an inordinate delay in filing the present petition and that too

where a local body seeks to question the order passed by the

Additional Chief Secretary to the Government in its revisional

jurisdiction. No case for condonation of delay being made out, the

application being I.A. No. 146082 of 2021 is rejected.

Consequently, the petition stands dismissed on the ground of

delay.
