CORAM : S. G. CHAPALGAONKAR, J.

DATED : 18th JUNE, 2025.

P.C.:- 1.

Heard Mr. Dhase, learned Advocate appearing for petitioner. 2.

The petitioner preferred an Appeal under Section 257 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966 before Additional Collector against order dated 27.05.2008 passed by Sub Divisional Officer, Jalna in File No.2007/ROR/CR-130 alongwith application to condone delay of 8 years 11 months 18 days caused in filing Appeal. The petitioner contended that he was suffering from illness of cervical myelopathy and even hospitalized with Dr. Gajanan Pandit and, therefore, he could not file Appeal within time. 3.

Perusal of of application shows that no particulars of period of treatment of petitioner and nature of his illness is specified. In that view of the matter, learned Additional Collector rejected prayer for delay condonation and consequently, disposed of Appeal. The order of Additional Collector was challenged before Additional Divisional Commissioner at Aurangabad, who concurred with order of learned Additional Collector and rejected Revision. Thereafter, petitioner approached Hon'ble Minister vide Revision Petition

(2) 11-wp-7145-2025.odt No.660/2023. The Hon'ble Minister also concurred with orders passed by Additional Collector and Additional Divisional Commissioner and found that there is no explanation for inordinate delay of 8 years 11 months 18 days. 4.

Considering reasons as adopted by Additional Collector and concurred by Appellate and Revisional Authorities, it can be observed that no sufficient cause is made out by petitioner to condone inordinate delay of 8 years 11 months 18 days. In this background, this Court finds no substance in Writ Petition. Hence, stands dismissed.
