THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.20326 OF 2007 DATED: 27-09-2007 Between: G. Chandrasekhar .. Petitioner and The Airport Authority of India (NAD), Chennai Region, rep. by its Regional Executive Director, Chennai Airport, Chennai and another. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.20326 OF 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not appointing the petitioner to the post of Senior Superintendent in terminal management in pursuance of notification dated 22.12.1999, on par with one B.V. Krishnan in the additional sanctioned post, as arbitrary and illegal. There is no necessity of going into all the details. The writ petition is filed after a lapse of more than seven years since the notification was issued and appointment of the said B.V. Krishnan was made. No plausible explanation is coming up from the petitioner for the delay caused in approaching this Court. I am of the view that the writ petition suffers from irretrievable laches and is, therefore, liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, this will not preclude the petitioner from working out his remedies as available under the law. No costs. ____​__________ C.V. RAMULU, J 27th September, 2007. IBL
