At the outset, it is required to be noted that the impugned Order is dated 16th August 2024 and the Writ Petition has been filed on 17th July 2025 i.e. after almost one year. In the Writ Petition there is no explanation whatsoever is given for delay. 4. It is also required to be noted that there is an alternate remedy of a Revision. However, the Petitioner has impugned the Order directly in this Court. 5. Accordingly, as there is delay in filing the Writ Petition and as there is an alternate remedy, this is not a fit case to exercise the jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India and under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. 6. In the facts and circumstances, no case is made out for exercise of extraordinary and discretionary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. 8. As the Writ Petition is dismissed, nothing survives in the Interim Application and the same is also disposed of. [Madhav J. Jamdar, J.] Arjun 2
