It is seen that the termination is in 1993 whereas the petitioner moved the Government only in 2002 and therefore, the Government rightly rejected the case of the petitioner observing that adequate reasons were not furnished justifying the delay. Therefore, there is no merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) ahg.
