The learned counsel for the petitioner fairly states that the inordinate delay should not stand in the way of such benefit and relies on the decision of the Apex Court in Chamanlal Goyal case reported in (1995) 2 SCC 570. He further states that the petitioner&#8217;s claim to be considered in the light of the above said decision.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t4. Heard Mr. Sathish, learned Government Advocate Forest.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t5.
