CORAM : A.A. SAYED & SMT. ANUJA PRABHUDESSAI, JJ.

DATED : 03 JANUARY 2020 P.C.:

The Petition essentially challenges the Award dated 9-5-2000. There is inordinate delay of about 2 decades on the part of the Petitioners in filing the Petition. The explanation given in para 28 of the Petition does not constitute sufficient cause to condone the delay. 2.

In the circumstances, the Petition is dismissed only on the ground of delay and laches.
