TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 19915 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 21st day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T The prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct the respondents to include the petitioner also for the benefit of tsunami rehabilitation package by allotting him a house and giving him other financial assistance. 2. Evidently the tsunami in question hit the Kerala Coast in December, 2004 and the scheme was implemented immediately thereafter. According to the learned Government Pleader, houses have been constructed and allotted and all other benefits also have been already disbursed. 3. This therefore discloses that the claim now made by the petitioner is highly belated and at this stage, the cause of action, if any, has become stale. In that view, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
