Respondent Nos.2 and 3 and two petitioners herein were shown as defendants in the said suit. The suit was referred to Lok Adalat, Visakhapatnam. On 17.07.2001, the Lok Adalat passed an award with the consent of the parties, inter alia, directing that the third respondent herein shall not raise any objection when the first respondent offered employment in the Dock Labour Board. Though the Lok Adalat settled the matter on 17.07.2001, the Dock Labour Board and its Deputy Chairman did not challenge the same in any forum. The same has become final. After a lapse of about five years, the award/order of the Lok Adalat, Visakhapatnam, is assailed in the Writ Petition. Having regard to the nature of the suit filed by the first respondent and having regard to the order passed by the Lok Adalat with the consent of the parties regarding disbursement of pension of the husband of the second respondent (father of the first respondent), this Court is not inclined to interfere with the matter. Therefore, the Writ Petition is dismissed as barred by delay and laches. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06.06.2006 GJ
