JAI RAM Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned counsel Mr. Bhadu for the petitioner and Mr. Kulwant Singh, for Respondent No. 5. Though served, but none appears for Respondents No. 1 to 4.

(2.) THE petitioner has challenged the impugned order dated 22. 5. 98 (Annex. 2), passed by the Respondent No. 2, whereby he allowed the appeal filed by the private respondent No. 5 against the order dated 15. 10. 97 at Annex. 1.

(3.) IN view of this, when there is a gross delay of more than 17 months in challenging the impugned order dated 22. 5. 98, this petition should be dismissed only on this ground, without going into the merits of the case.
