It is the case of the petitioner that in March, 1984 and December, 1985, he was called upon to discharge additional duties for which he was entitled to special pay. Instead of that, in May, 1990, he was granted honorarium. The petition is filed in 2007. 2. In our opinion, even if the purported explanation is considered, the petition is barred by laches.
