Petitioner through Mr.R.S.Sharma, Advocate v. The State Transport Commissioner & others, ...... Respondents through Mr.Piyush Kant Jain, Addl.A.G.Punjab CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J This writ petition has been filed challenging the order dated 28.7.2005, passed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal, Punjab rejecting the appeal filed by the petitioner on the ground that it is barred by limitation. We find that the present writ petition has been filed more than two years after the passing of the impugned order. Thus, without going into the question whether the dismissal of the appeal on the ground of limitation C.W.P No. 16314 of 2007 ::2:: was correct, we are constrained to dismiss the writ petition on the ground of delay and laches, since there is no explanation forth coming as to why the petitioner did not challenge the impugned order for this long period.
