HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No:17586 OF 2007 Dated: 14.11.2007 Between: 1. The Deputy Director, District Treasury Office, Ongole and others. ..Petitioners And 1.P. Bhujanga Rao & others ..Respondents HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No:17586 OF 2007 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) The present writ petition is filed by the petitioners seeking to set aside the order passed in O.A.No:5660 of 2000, dated 05.04.2004. The respondents are the applicants before the tribunal. They filed the O.A. seeking to set aside the proceedings No.A1/3099/2000, dated 16.9.2000 issued by the respondents proposing to revert them as illegal and arbitrary. The tribunal allowed the same on 5.4.2004. Having aggrieved by the same, the authorities preferred the present writ petition. But, this writ petition has been preferred by the authorities in the year 2007 i.e., nearly after a lapse of three years. There is no proper explanation for such an inordinate delay in challenging the order of the tribunal, dated 5.4.2004. Therefore, We have no hesitation to hold that there are no bonafides on the part of the writ petitioners-authorities in challenging the order of the tribunal, dated 5.4.2004 in the year 2007 by filing this present writ petition. We see no merits in this writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________________ Justice T.
