In CWP there is a time limitation of writ i.e 6 months, whether we can enforce it if any writ is pending from the last 8 years.

The provisions of Limitation Act are not applicable in writ jurisdiction and hence, you cannot say that strictly within 90 days / 180 days a writ has to be filed. Only doctrine of laches is applicable and in genuine cases, the court at its discretion condone the delay and allow the writ petition. Pendency of more than 8 years cannot make the writ redundant.
