Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, in O.A.No.6963 of 2004 and quash or set aside the same by holding the order as erroneous and contrary to law and to pass such other …” From the prayer it is obvious that the petitioners seek to challenge an order of the A.P. Adminstrative Tribunal, which is almost two years old. No acceptable explanation whatsoever is put-forth for the delay. We are of the opinion that the writ petition is barred by laches, and therefore, the same is dismissed at the stage of admission itself. No costs. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR -------------------------- P.SWAROOP REDDY 19th SEPTEMBER, 2007 PGS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.959 OF 2007 (Per Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) 19th FEBRUARY, 2007
