JUDGMENT (Prayer: CMP No.6921 of 2020 filed under Section 5 of Limitation Act to condone the delay of 911 days in filing WA No.SR 37662 of 2020. WA No.SR 37662 of 2020 filed against the order dated 28.07.2017 in WP No.19560 of 2004) Sanjay v. Gangapurwala, J. 1. Heard Mr.Silambannan, learned Additional Advocate-General for the applicants and Mr.R.D.Ashok Kumar, learned counsel for the non-applicant. 2. This is an application filed for condonation of an inordinate delay of 911 days in filing the writ appeal. 3. The application is strongly opposed by the non-applicant. One of the grounds raised is that the applicants have singled out the present non-applicant and that they have not proceeded against other similarly situated persons. 4. Learned Additional Advocate-General, on instructions, is not in a position to dispute the said statement. Moreover, we do not find cogent reasons being made out so as to construe the same as sufficient cause. Except administrative reasons, no other reason has been spelt-out for the inordinate delay. 5. In light of the above, CMP No.6921 of 2020 is rejected. Consequently, WA No.SR 37662 of 2020 is also rejected. There will be no order as to costs.
