V. PURUSHOTHAM RAO v. UNION OF INDIA

2001-10-10

G.B.PATTANAIK, RUMA PAL

body2001
( 1 ) HEARD Mr Bhachawat, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner. ( 2 ) THIS is a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution of India against an order of cancellation of the discretionary allotment made in favour of the petitioner by the High Court of Delhi. The petitioner had also approached this Court earlier by way of SLPs arising out of CCs Nos. 5762-67 of 1999 which stood dismissed on the ground of delay. The selfsame order of the delhi High Court is assailed now by filing this petition under Article 32. ( 3 ) WE are not inclined to invoke our jurisdiction under Article 32 of the constitution of India, as in our view in a matter like this, the earlier order of dismissal of the SLP concludes the matter. If the SLP itself was dismissed on the ground of delay, we see no reason why a petition under Article 32 should be entertained after this length of time. This petition accordingly stands dismissed. WPs (C) Nos. 396 and 111 of 2000 ( 4 ) HEARD Mr Mohta and Mr G. L. Sanghi, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners, and Mr P. N. Misra for Respondent 4 and Mr T. L. V. Iyer for the union of India. ( 5 ) HAVING regard to the facts that the selfsame order which has been the subject-matter of challenge in these writ petitions under Article 32 was under challenge before this Court in SLPs which stood dismissed and review petitions filed thereafter also stood dismissed, we are not inclined to entertain the writ petitions under Article 32. They accordingly stand rejected. ( 6 ) IA No. 2 in WP No. 396 of 2000 for impleadment stands dismissed as not pressed. CAs Nos. 3100, 3104-05, 3089-90, 3117, 3097, 3102 and 3086 of 2000 ( 7 ) ( 8 ) JUDGMENT reserved. ( 9 ) REST of the matters be listed as part-heard.
