AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral)

This petition has been filed against the order dated 20.9.2007

(Annexure P-1), whereby an application, under Section 10 of the CPC, filed

by the respondents, was allowed and the proceedings in the present suit

were stayed to await the decision of this Court in RSA No.1770 of 2002,

filed by the present petitioners.

It would be seen that this petition has been filed after more than

two years. The mere fact that jurisdiction under Article 227 of the

Constitution of India is being invoked, cannot be held to entitle a person to

approach this Court at any time. In my opinion, this petition is
C.R No. 6922 of 2009 (O&M) ::2::

barred by delay and laches and is dismissed as such.

As the main petition has since been dismissed, all the pending

civil miscellaneous applications, if any, also stand disposed of.

                                          ( AJAY TEWARI             )
