MANMOHAN, J<\/p>\n
1.      The present Letters Patent Appeal has been filed challenging the<\/p>\n
judgment and order dated 15th March, 2010 passed by the learned<\/p>\n
Single Judge whereby the appellant\u201fs writ petition being W.P.(C)<\/p>\n
15005\/2006 has been dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
2.      Briefly stated the relevant facts of the present case are that the<\/p>\n
appellant-petitioner applied for an alternative industrial plot under the<\/p>\n
Relocation Scheme floated by the respondents No.1 and 3 for<\/p>\n
rehabilitation of polluting industries which had been closed down by<\/p>\n
LPA 471\/2010                                                                   Page 1 of 5<\/span>
\n virtue of orders of the Hon\u201fble Supreme Court of India.<\/p>\n
3.       In accordance with the Relocation Scheme, all applicants were to<\/p>\n
deposit the earnest money and remaining fifty per cent of the plot price<\/p>\n
within three months from the date of registration. The last date of<\/p>\n
deposit of fifty per cent of the demand was extended upto 31st March,<\/p>\n
2001 by the Supreme Court.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
4.       It is the case of the appellant-petitioner that he fulfilled the<\/p>\n
requisite criteria for being allotted an alternative industrial plot. It is<\/p>\n
also the appellant-petitioner\u201fs case that he had paid part of earnest<\/p>\n
money himself and the remaining money was borrowed from Delhi<\/p>\n
State Cooperative Bank Ltd. (in short, “DSCBL”) which fact was<\/p>\n
confirmed by DSCBL vide letter dated 17th July, 2001.<\/p>\n
5.       Accordingly to the appellant-petitioner, as he did not receive any<\/p>\n
response from the respondents, he sent a complaint dated 18th January,<\/p>\n
2005 to the Manager of DSCBL. It is also the appellant-petitioner\u201fs<\/p>\n
case that on 24th February, 2005, he had sent a reminder to the DSCBL<\/p>\n
for consideration of its application dated 31st December, 1996. But as<\/p>\n
no response was received either to the original letter or to the reminder,<\/p>\n
the appellant-petitioner filed the aforesaid writ petition before this<\/p>\n
Court.\n<\/p>\n
6.       In the counter affidavit filed by the respondent No.1, it was<\/p>\n
pointed out that the appellant-petitioner had failed to furnish the<\/p>\n
documents to establish manufacturing activity prior to 19th April, 1996.<\/p>\n
LPA 471\/2010                                                    Page 2 of 5<\/span>
\n It was further stated that as the appellant-petitioner was not found<\/p>\n
eligible for the allotment for an alternative industrial plot, he was<\/p>\n
communicated vide letter dated 21st June, 2000 that he was not eligible<\/p>\n
for allotment of an alternative industrial plot under the Relocation<\/p>\n
Scheme. It is also the case of respondent No.1 that a public notice<\/p>\n
intimating the criteria for allotment was published in the newspaper<\/p>\n
\u201eHindustan Times\u201f dated 01st February, 2001. It was further pointed out<\/p>\n
that interest on the amount deposited on behalf of the appellant-<\/p>\n
petitioner had been credited to his banker, DSCBL, on 14th February,<\/p>\n
2003. Accordingly, it was submitted that the writ petition was barred<\/p>\n
by delay and laches.\n<\/p>\n
7.      The respondent No.3\/DSIIDC in its counter affidavit pointed out<\/p>\n
that the Commissioner of Industries had rejected the appellant-<\/p>\n
petitioner\u201fs application on 09th October, 1998 and accordingly, the<\/p>\n
earnest money deposited by the appellant-petitioner had been refunded<\/p>\n
by Cheque No.491040 dated 22nd February, 2002 and the appellant-<\/p>\n
petitioner was intimated of the same vide letter dated 29th April, 2002.<\/p>\n
8.      The learned Single Judge by the impugned order dismissed the<\/p>\n
writ petition on the ground that the appellant-petitioner did not follow<\/p>\n
up the matter after 17th July, 2001 till 18th January, 2005 despite the fact<\/p>\n
that the entire amount along with interest had been refunded by the<\/p>\n
respondent No.3 to the appellant-petitioner\u201fs bank by 14th February,<\/p>\n
2003.\n<\/p>\n
9.      Mr. B.S. Chowdhary, learned counsel for the appellant-petitioner<\/p>\n
submitted that the learned Single Judge had failed to appreciate that the<\/p>\n
LPA 471\/2010                                                     Page 3 of 5<\/span>
\n appellant-petitioner fulfilled the eligibility criteria for allotment of an<\/p>\n
alternative industrial plot under the Relocation Scheme.            In this<\/p>\n
connection, Mr. Chowdhary placed reliance upon the certificate dated<\/p>\n
12th October, 1995 issued by the Delhi Municipal Corporation.<\/p>\n
10.   During the course of the arguments before this Court, Mr.<\/p>\n
Chowdhary urged that the learned Single Judge had erroneously<\/p>\n
dismissed the writ petition on the ground that appellant-petitioner had<\/p>\n
not followed up the matter after 17th July, 2001 till 18th January, 2005.<\/p>\n
In this connection, he pointed out that after DSCBL had remitted the<\/p>\n
amount, the appellant-petitioner was not to undertake any further steps.<\/p>\n
Mr. Chowdhary further stated that as the appellant-petitioner was an<\/p>\n
illiterate person, he could neither understand the contents of letter dated<\/p>\n
21st June, 2000 nor the notice published in the newspaper \u201eHindustan<\/p>\n
Times\u201f dated 01st February, 2001.\n<\/p>\n
11.   Having heard the parties, we are of the opinion that as the<\/p>\n
appellant-petitioner had been communicated by the respondent No.1\u201fs<\/p>\n
letter dated 21st June, 2000 that his application for allotment of an<\/p>\n
alternative industrial plot under the Relocation Scheme had been<\/p>\n
rejected, the appellant-petitioner was under an obligation, if so desirous,<\/p>\n
to file appropriate legal proceedings expeditiously.<\/p>\n
12.   While it is true that Article 226 is an extraordinary remedy<\/p>\n
available to mitigate the sufferings of the people in general but it is not<\/p>\n
out of place to mention that this extraordinary jurisdiction has been<\/p>\n
conferred on to the law courts under Article 226 of the Constitution on<\/p>\n
a very sound equitable principle.        Hence, the equitable doctrine,<\/p>\n
LPA 471\/2010                                                    Page 4 of 5<\/span>
\n namely, “delay defeats equity” has its fullest application in the matter<\/p>\n
of grant of relief under Article 226 of the Constitution.            The<\/p>\n
discretionary relief can be had, provided one has not by his act or<\/p>\n
conduct given a go-by to his rights. Equity favours a vigilant rather<\/p>\n
than an indolent litigant and this being the basic tenet of law, the<\/p>\n
question of grant of any relief to appellant-petitioner does not and<\/p>\n
cannot arise.\n<\/p>\n
13.   We are further of the view that the ground of illiteracy is no<\/p>\n
defence especially when the appellant-petitioner had applied for<\/p>\n
allotment of an alternative industrial plot in English language. In any<\/p>\n
event, the admitted position is that between 17th July, 2001 and 18th<\/p>\n
January, 2005, the appellant-petitioner had not taken any steps to<\/p>\n
challenge the cancellation order dated 21st June, 2000.   This fact also<\/p>\n
becomes more glaring in view of the fact that respondents had refunded<\/p>\n
the amount deposited by the appellant-petitioner to his banker way-<\/p>\n
back on 22nd February, 2002.\n<\/p>\n
14.   Consequently, as the writ petition filed by the appellant-<\/p>\n
petitioner was barred by delay and laches, the impugned order calls for<\/p>\n
no interference. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed but without any<\/p>\n
order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                                   MANMOHAN, J<\/p>\n
