K.C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.31125 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 3rd November,2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a Co-operative Society. They are challenging Ext.P6 Award passed by the Industrial Tribunal, Palakkad in I.D No.67/2004 and the proceedings in C.P.9/2009 for implementation of Ext.P6 Award. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition since Ext.P6 Award was passed as early as on 25.9.2006. It is not also an ex-parte award. The petitioner Society had fully participated in the proceedings before the Tribunal and adduced evidence also. Therefore, they were perfectly aware of the proceedings and suffered Ext.P6 Award passed as early as on 25.9.2006. They have not been able to give any convincing reason for the long delay of three years in challenging Ext.P6. 2. Therefore, the challenge against Ext.P6 fails on the ground of unexplained delay and latches. Since the proceedings initiated in the C.P is only for implementation of Ext.P6 Award, the challenge against that proceedings also fails and accordingly the writ petition is dismissed.
