There is a gross delay of 1651 days in filing the special leave petition. The Court, after hearing counsel for the petitioner, found no sufficient cause to condone the delay and consequently the "special leave petition is dismissed on the ground of delay alone keeping open the question of law, if any." Pending application(s), if any, "shall also stand disposed of." The reasoning is strictly procedural: dismissal rests solely on delay, leaving substantive legal questions unresolved for determination in appropriate proceedings if the petitioner chooses to pursue them.
