C.W.P No.1030 of 2007. 20.7.2007 Present: Mr. B.B. Vaid, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. M.S. Chandel, Advocate General with Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General for respondents 1 and 2. This petition is hopelessly barred by latches. The impugned order was passed on 16th July, 2004 and this petition has been filed on 13th July, 2007, i.e. exactly three years later. The petitioner has not whispered or murmured anywhere in the petition as to why did he sleep over the matter for as long as three years. This is a case where latches are very relevant and cannot be ignored or overlooked. The petition is dismissed on the ground of latches. (V.K. Gupta), C.J. July 20, 2007. (Sanjay Karol), J. (rc)
