Mr. P.S. Dani for respondent nos.1 to 5. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATE : 28TH FEBRUARY 2011 P.C. : 1. The impugned order is passed on 2nd August 2004. The writ petition has been filed on 7th May 2010, that is after nearly 6 years. The delay and laches is not sufficiently explained. Only a bald averment is made that the petitioner was advised not to challenge the order and hence he did not file the writ petition earlier. Even if the averment is accepted at the face value, it is not sufficient explanation for 2 WP 4405/2010 delay and laches. The writ petition is accordingly rejected for delay and laches. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
