WPSS No. 152 of 2007 Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Heard Sri Vinay Upadhyay, learned counsel for the petitioner. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought quashing of termination order dated 17.08.1982. The writ petition suffers from unexplained delay and laches. This court directed the petitioner on 13.02.2007 to file supplementary affidavit as to how this writ petition is maintainable after 24 years of delay. The explanation given in the supplementary affidavit filed with Application No. 868 of 2008 does not disclose any sufficient reason explaining the laches of 24 years in filing the writ petition challenging the termination order dated 17.08.1982. The writ petition is dismissed in limine. 08.05.2008 (P.C.P., J.) NS
