JUDGMENT Ext.P7 order is under challenge. This is an order passed pursuant to Ext.P6 judgment of this court. Admittedly Ext.P7 was issued as early as on 10.3.2008 and it is now informed that on the basis of Ext.P7 the contractor has already resumed the work. I do not therefore think that, at this distance of time, the petitioner should be permitted to challenge Ext.P7. For reasons of delay and laches, the challenge against Ext.P7 is rejected, I decline the jurisdiction. Writ Petition is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
