None for the Respondent No.1. Shri L.R.Mohite for the Respondent No.2. Shri A.K.Jalisatgi for the Respondent No.3. CORAM: R.M.S.KHANDEPARKAR, J DATED: 12th DECEMBER, 2006. P.C. . Heard the learned advocate for the petitioner. The petitioner seeks to challenge the award dated 2nd May, 1998. There is no explanation for laches on the part of the petitioner in approaching this Court except contending that, at the relevant time, the partners of the firm were different from those who are running the firm at present. That itself cannot be a ground to challenge the award passed in the year 1998 in the year 2006. On account of - 2 - internal arrangement between the outgoing partners and the incoming partners, the workman cannot be made to suffer. Viewed from this angle and in the absence of satisfactary explanation for laches, the petition is rejected. (R.M.S.KHANDEPARKAR, J )
