CWP No. 2191 of 2009: The petitioner has challenged the permission granted to respondent No.5 on 23.2.2005. The petitioner has not explained why he has approached this Court belatedly. He cannot be permitted to challenge the order passed on 23.2.2005 in the year 2009. It is true that there is no period of limitation for filing the writ petition. However, it is equally settled that the petitions are required to be filed within a reasonable period for the enforcement of fundamental/legal rights. Accordingly, there is unexplained delay in filing the present petition and the same is dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. CMPs No. 4377 and 4378 of 2009: In view of the dismissal of the writ petition, both these applications are also dismissed. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J. (Rajiv Sharma), J. July 10, 2009. (cr)
