SPL. DEPUTY COLLECTOR, NANDYAL vs KATAM VENKATA SUBBA REDDY — SLP(C) No. 6265/2004

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed by the Special Deputy Collector, Nandyal against the High Court judgment dated 23/12/1997. The petition was dismissed on two grounds: (1) unexplained delay of 1987 days in filing the SLP, with the petitioner's excuse of file mixing deemed unconvincing and a "futile exercise" to cover callous indifference, and (2) non-prosecution, as the petitioner's counsel failed to appear during three successive calls on 02/12/2003.
