The writ petition has been filed in the year 2022. No satisfactory cause for the delay and laches on part of the petitioner has been shown. The submission made on behalf of the petitioner that he was making continuous representations over the years to the department is of no avail to him. It is well settled law that mere making of repeated representations do not furnish a satisfactory cause to condone the delay. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed on the grounds of delay and laches and is accordingly dismissed.
