JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan,J. Writ Petition was preferred by the appellant seeking a writ of certiorari to quash Exts.P2 to P4 and Ext.P8 and for a direction to the first respondent to reinstate the petitioner in service and for other consequential reliefs. Ext.P2 is the charge sheet issued in March, 1985. Ext.P3 is a communication sent to the petitioner on 2nd March, 1985. Ext.P4 is the summary of evidence furnished to the petitioner on 27th February, 1985. Petitioner has not challenged those orders before proper authorities. Ext.P6 is a representation dated 26.7.2004 filed before the first respondent by the petitioner. Ext.P7 is yet another application dated 3.2.2005 made by the petitioner addressed to the Hon'ble President of India. Ext.P7 was considered and Ext.P8 reply was given on 12th March, 2005 stating that the petitioner has been dismissed from service and has forfeited his all service benefits and not eligible for the status of an Ex-service man. Petitioner was WA 1317/07 -: 2 :- dismissed from service with effect from 6th March, 1985 Petitioner submitted that the dismissal is bad in law. We find that this Court has examined the correctness or otherwise of the various orders, which were passed as early as in 1985, and there is no explanation from the petitioner for his silence for a period of about 20 years. In the circumstances, we find no reason to interfere with the judgment of the learned single Judge. Writ Appeal is dismissed. K.S.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Antony Dominic, Judge. ess 7/6
