Instead of the same, the respondents appointed a reserved category candidate against that vacancy. The cause of action of the petitioner is of 2003. There is nothing on record to show that the petitioner raised his grievance or filed any complaint within the time prescribed in the Guidelines for 2 filing complaints. Petitioner has filed this writ application in 2008. In the circumstances, this Court finds that the writ application suffers from gross delay and laches. The same is accordingly dismissed.
