In this writ appeal the order challenged is an interim order passed by the learned Single Judge. Writ appeal was filed with a delay of 573 days and reason stated is that only on perusal of the records the grounds were found out. That is not a ground for condoning the long delay in filing the appeal. In any event, writ petition is pending. It is for the appellants to get the matter disposed of by the learned Single Judge by filing an early posting petition. So, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, both delay condonation petition as well as the writ appeal are dismissed. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE K.T.SANKARAN JUDGE tks
