Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.PADMANABHA RAO Counsel for the Respondents-1 & 2: GP FOR SERVICES I The Court made the following: ORDER: (Per. Hon’ble Sri Justice G. Bikshapathy) The writ petition is filed assailing the order passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad in O.A. (SR) No.12311 of 2004. 2. The petitioner seeking the appointment in pursuance of the G.O.Ms.No.481, Agriculture Department, dated 4.9.1987. The Tribunal rejected the same, as there was a delay of unexplained latches on the part of the petitioner. Against the said order, the present writ petition has been filed. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order of the Tribunal is not sustainable inasmuch as the petitioner seeking only a direction to fill up the post of Typist by direct recruitment challenging the appointment of 4th respondent by ignoring the claim of the applicant, which is in violation of G.O.Ms.No.481, Agriculture Department, dated 4.9.1987. 4. We are of the considered view that the Tribunal has correctly decided the matter and refused to entertain the same as the cause of action arose as early as 1987 under G.O.Ms.No.481, dated 4.9.1987 and it cannot be now agitated after lapse of two decades. Thus, we do not find any ground to interfere with the order of the tribunal. 5 . Accordingly, we dismiss the writ petition with the above observation. No costs. __________________ (G.
