2008 (12) TMI 447 - SUPREME COURTRejection of appeal on ground of delay - Held that:- Appeal allowed. Delay in filing the writ petition having been sufficiently explained in the writ petition, we are of the view that the delay may not be taken to be a ground for rejection of the writ application simply for two reasons. First, the writ petition was entertained initially by the High Court and then subsequently it was rejected only on the ground of delay. Secondly, as we have already noted the delay in filing the writ application has been sufficiently explained by the appellant - such restoration of the writ petition to be heard on merits would be subject to payment of costs of Rs. 10,000/- to the respondents which shall be paid by the appellant
