As far as challenge to the order dated 27th February, 2008 is concerned, the appellate authority has noticed and recorded its satisfaction that the information sought for was not available and the Applicant should apply to the correct authority to seek any information if he so desires. By a detailed reasoning and dealing with each items stated by the Petitioner in his application, the appeal was rejected by the appellate authority. We see no reason to interfere in the said order, as the same is neither reversed nor suffers from error of jurisdiction of law. As far as privilege notice is concerned, the same was issued by the Privilege Committee to Respondent No.2 on 11th July, 2006. Thus, cause of action, if any, is available to Respondent No.2, the Petitioner has hardly any locus to challenge the correctness of the said order. As far as other reliefs are concerned, besides they being vague, no facts have been averred in the Writ Petition which would justify any judicial intervention by this Court. The Writ Petition suffers from 4 defect of delay and laches as the order itself was passed by the appellate authority in February, 2008 and the privilege notice has been issued much prior and an attempt is made to seek orders in relation to the serial bomb blasts in local trains in Mumbai on 26th July, 2006. We see no reason even to entertain this Petition which, in our opinion, even lacks locus. The Writ Petition accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs. CHIEF JUSTICE S.A. BOBDE, J
