According to the petitioner, he has been making representations to the authorities concerned for providing dependent employment to the grandson of the petitioner by name Yalkala Ramaiah, but so far, no action has been taken by the respondents. Hence, the writ petition. Except the representation, dated 27.2.2002 submitted by the petitioner, no other representation is filed to show that he is pursuing his remedies other than coming to the Court. Admittedly, he was terminated from services in the year 1969 by the 1st respondent for the reason that he was medically unfit as he met with a mine accident on 10.3.1968. So, for all these years, the petitioner has not approached any proper forum by which he can seek redressal of his grievance. The writ petition is totally devoid of merit on the ground of latches and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission with no order as to costs.
