THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P. No.18222 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the award passed by the Labour Court in I.D.No.44 of 1997 dated 10.7.2000 insofar as denying backwages to the petitioner. Petitioner is the workman and second respondent is management. The award was passed on 10.7.2000 and this writ petition is filed after a lapse of more than (7) years. In fact, in the meanwhile, respondent- management, questioning the award dated 10.7.2000, filed W.P.No.22599 of 2000 and the same was dismissed on 10.12.2004. There is no plausible explanation offered by the petitioner for approaching this Court with an abnormal delay of (7) years in filing the present writ petition. The writ petition suffers from irretrievable latches and liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 21.8.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.
