4. At the very outset this Court takes note that the petitioner has approached this Court after an inordinate delay of over nine years for redressal of his grievances, which relates to the year 2009. The petitioner is clearly pursuing a stale claim and is not entitled to relief by this Court in its extra ordinary jurisdiction in view of delay and laches, as no good ground has been stated to explain such delay.
5. The writ petition stands dismissed.
