The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that, he is entitled to have his seniority re-fixed. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition since what the petitioner wants is to re-open a seniority list which became final as early as in 1997. As such, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. I do so. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE //True copy// P.A. TO JUDGE shg/
