THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.29452 OF 2009 Dated: 19.01.2010 Between: T. Ramesh … petitioner And The Depot Manager, APSRTC, Parvathipuram Depot and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.29452 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner herein who was working as a Casual Conductor in the A.P. State Road Transport Corporation was removed from service by order dated 4.12.2001 on the ground of alleged cash and ticket irregularities. Aggrieved by the same, though the petitioner preferred an Appeal before the Regional Manager, APSRTC, the same was rejected as not maintainable by order dated 24.4.2002. The said orders are under challenge in this writ petition. Though various grounds have been raised by the petitioner assailing the impugned orders, I am not inclined to go into merits of the case since the petitioner failed to give satisfactory explanation for the inordinate delay of more than 8 years in moving the Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Hence the writ petition is liable to be dismissed in limini on the ground of laches alone. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 19.01.2010 gbs
