The appellant/ writ petitioner sought a direction for payment of balance amount for certain supplies made by him in the year 1983. Since the writ petition was filed after 25 years, the writ court dismissed the case on the ground of laches and delay. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that dismissal of the writ petition may not stand in his way in 2 pursuing their remedy through appropriate forum. In the facts and circumstances, the appeal is found to be without merit. It is accordingly dismissed. It goes without saying that if the appellant has any other appropriate forum he may re-agitate the matter before that forum in accordance with law. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
