JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan,J. We find no error in the view expressed by the learned single Judge, especially when the Writ Appeal filed is highly belated. Challenge is against Ext.P7 order dated 28.11.1989. Ext.P7 order was challenged only in 1996. Therefore, the Writ Appeal lacks merit. Hence the Writ Appeal is dismissed on the ground of delay and latches. K.S.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Antony Dominic, Judge. ess 5/7
