Heard Sri. Kumar R.S. Gowda, learned counsel appearing for petitioners and Smt. B.P. Radha, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for respondents 1 to 3. 4. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and on perusal of the averments made in the writ petition, the same would indicate that the petitioners have challenged the impugned order passed by the respondent No.1 after a delay of more than seven years and have not shown sufficient cause to condone the inordinate delay. In that view of the matter, I am of the view that the writ petition deserves to be dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (E.S.
