Decided On June 18, 2024
Kapuraji Shankarji Garoda Appellant
V/S
STATE OF GUJARAT Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard learned advocate Mr.Karan Patel for learned advocate Mr.A.R.Kapadia on behalf of the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader Mr.Aakash Gupta on behalf of the respondent - State.

(2.) By way of this petition, the petitioner challenges an order passed by the learned SSRD dtd. 25/6/2014 under Rule 108(6A) of the Land Revenue Rules.

(3.) At the outset, considering the fact that the order in question was of the year 2014, learned advocate had been called upon to satisfy the Court as regards the entertainability of the matter after delay of approximately a decade. Learned advocate would rely upon a document dtd. 5/10/2023 to submit that since the papers of the original application preferred before the Deputy Collector were not traceable, therefore, the delay in question has arisen. No further explanation is coming forth and whereas even perusal of the petition also would not reveal any reasons for which this Court should condone the delay.
