The last of the acceptance with regard to payment even if it is accepted to be so, is Annexure-4 dated 27.8.1998. The writ has been filed on 4.4.2007 without much explanation as to what prevented the petitioner in approaching the Court. The writ application is dismissed. If the petitioner has remedy in any other forum he may pursue the same. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
