The said order is final, against which no appeal lies. No explanation is found in the writ petition as to the reasons for the delay in filing the writ petition after more than three years in respect of appointment to the post of Panchayat teacher. In the said circumstances, the writ application is fit to be dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. It is, accordingly, dismissed. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
