By order dated 31st May 2004, the Government of India declined to make a reference under the Industrial Disputes Act about the alleged dispute relating to the termination of services of the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner is not a workman. The petitioner is not workman is clearly a possible finding of fact. We notice that the petition is filed in April 2006 after a period of two years of the impugned order. The delay is not at all explained in the petition. The petitioner is guilty of gross delay and latched in approaching this Court. The petition is rejected summarily. :2: :2: :2: (D.G.KARNIK,J.)
