Raghav for Mr. Sanjay Pareek for the respondents. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This writ petition has been filed challenging the discharge of petitioner, which is made by order dated 31.1.1970. This writ petition has been filed belatedly on 6.5.2002. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has sought to explain the delay by submitting that petitioner on 17.2.1988 submitted a representation to the respondents demanding documents and that petitioner was mentally ill and, therefore, he could not discharge the duties. In order to explain the delay, affidavit of brother of the petitioner was filed. 2 From perusal of affidavit and the statement made in the writ petition, I do not find that delay has been satisfactorily explained and even otherwise, explanation so given does not inspire any confidence. This writ petition is, therefore, dismissed for delay and latches. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ)J. A.Arora/- Item No.50.
