JUDGMENT
(Judgment of the Court was made by S.M.Subramaniam, J.) The writ order dated 16.03.2023 passed in W.P.No.19303 of 2016 is under challenge in this present intra-court appeal. The claim of the appellant is that his seniority is to be revised from 1969. However, the writ petition came to be filed in the year 2016, after a lapse of 47 years and more specifically, after attaining the age of superannuation. The claim of the appellant itself is stale and liable to be rejected on the ground of delay and laches. The Writ Court still considered the matter on merits and dismissed the writ petition. Thus, there is no scope for interference in the present writ appeal. Consequently, the writ appeal stands dismissed. No costs. [S.M.S., J.] [K.G.R., J.]
