No.31008 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 2nd day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner submits that he was working as a Cook in the A.R. camp on daily wages since 21/12/1986. His services were terminated by Ext.P5 order dated 29/02/2008, and he had filed Ext.P6 representation requesting for appointment against any of the vacancies, and that was also rejected by Ext.P7 order dated 22/03/2008. It is challenging Exts.P5 & P7, this writ petition is filed. 2. From the dates of these orders, it can be seen that these orders were issued almost more than 1 ½ years ago. Therefore, in my view, the writ petitioner is guilty of delay and latches, and that for that reason, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
