J U D G M E N T Ramachandran Nair, J. This Writ Appeal is filed with an inordinate delay of about 3 years. It is seen that WP(C) itself was filed with a delay, and the appeal also is filed with delay, which in our view is not explained satisfactorily. Consequently, we dismiss the delay condonation petition. In view of the dismissal of delay condonation petition, the Writ Appeal is dismissed as not maintainable.
