No explanation is coming forth as to why it took five years to serve a copy of the order on the petitioner. Although the petitioner has to now challenge that order, I am inclined to award costs for not supplying this order to the petitioner earlier. Accordingly this writ petition is closed without prejudice to the right to of the petitioner to challenge Ext.R2 (a) appropriately. But the 2nd respondent shall pay an amount of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only) as costs to the petitioner. It would be open to the 2nd respondent to recover it from the person responsible for the delay in supplying the copy of the order to the petitioner. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE //True copy// P.A.
