THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Thursday, 15th day of February,2007 W.P.No.2804 of 2007 Between:- Dr. P.S.R.V.K. Prabhakara Sarma and another … Petitioners and Principal Secretary for Higher Education, Govt. of A.P., Secretariat, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.2804 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: In this Writ Petition, the Proceedings dated 13-5-1994 passed by the 2nd respondent is sought to be challenged, after a lapse of about twelve (12) years. There is no explanation offered by the petitioners for the delay caused in approaching this Court, except saying that they made number of representations to the authorities in the meanwhile. I am of the opinion that since no plausible explanation is forthcoming from the petitioner for approaching this Court with abnormal delay of 12 years, the Writ Petition suffers from irretrievable laches; therefore, the same is liable to be dismissed on this ground alone. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed at the admission stage. 15-2-2007 prk
