Meena Kumari) The present writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking to set aside the order of the tribunal passed in O.A.No:1615 of 1995 on 27.12.2002. Before going into the merits of the case, it is strange to note that the tribunal has passed the order in O.A.1615 of 1995 on 27.12.2002 whereas the present writ petition has been preferred in the year 2008. No explanation is forthcoming for such an inordinate delay of six years in challenging the order of the tribunal. On this count alone, this writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed at the admission stage. No costs. _________________________ Justice T. Meena Kumari _______________________ Justice S.Ashok Kumar Date: 31st March, 2008 Nn/Gurc. THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI and THE HON'BLE SRI.
