2 01.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the

petitioner as well as learned counsel for

the State.

From the pleadings of the

petitioner it appears that father of the

petitioner died in harness on 01.12.1981.

Thereafter his mother applied for

appointment on compassionate ground and

the petitioner also submitted

applications. In this way, they kept

sending applications to the authorities

for more than 20 years. Now the petitioner

has approached this Court in 2008.

There is nothing on record to show

that the petitioner was prevented from

approaching this Court in due time for

redressal of his grievances.
2

In the circumstances, the writ

application is dismissed on account of

delay and laches.
