PLEADER SHRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 15007 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 18th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation has filed this writ petition challenging Ext.P1 order of the Lok Adalath as well as Ext.P4 direction to the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Chengannur, from the concerned judicial officer to take steps for non-compliance with Ext.P1. This writ petition is liable to be dismissed in limine for two reasons. First of all, Ext.P1 order of the Lok Adalath is dated 21.6.2008 and the petitioner filed this writ petition challenging Ext.P1 only on 17.5.2010. Ext.P4, though issued on 15.12.2009, being one to enforce Ext.P1, cannot be a valid explanation for not challenging Ext.P1 in time. The petitioner was not able to give any satisfactory explanation for the long delay of almost two years. Secondly, Ext.P1 order has been passed under the Legal Service Authorities Act by the Lok Adalath. That order has been passed by the consent of the representative of the petitioner who has signed the same in token of acceptance of the terms of the same. The Act itself stipulates that no appeal lies against such orders. For the above reasons, there is no merit in this writ petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed.
