Although on an earlier occasion, the petitioner approached this Court by filing WP(C) No.22745/08, even in that writ petition Ext.P1 was not challenged. By not pursuing his remedies against Ext.P1 till now, petitioner is guilty of delay and laches and for that reason itself, the writ petition merits only to be dismissed and I do so.
