The instant writ application has been filed by the petitioner praying therein for quashing the order dated 30.05.1995, passed by the respondent no. 5 in departmental proceeding Case No. 2/1990 whereby the petitioner has been terminated from service. The petitioner has further prayed for quashing the order dated 05.06.1996, passed by the respondent No. 4 whereby the appeal filed by the petitioner, was dismissed and order of termination was sustained. The petitioner has also challenged the entire departmental proceedings.

3. At the outset, Ms. Ruchi Rampuria A.C. to Sr. S.C. II for the respondent-State raised a preliminary objection on the ground of delay and laches.

As such, this writ application should be dismissed without going into merits of the case.
