The learned single Judge rejected the application on the ground of delay of more than sixteen years in approaching the Court. There is no evidence to show that the writ petitioner is entitled to wages for the period he alleged to have worked. No evidence is available also with the representation regarding the employment of the petitioner as petition is filed after one and 2 half decade. Merely by filing the application under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to dispose of the representation, he will not get any relief. The learned single Judge has refused to entertain the application filed after more than sixteen years. We agree with the above order and the appeal is dismissed. (J.B. Koshy, CJ.)
