Judgment & Decree
MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑Leave to appeal has been sought from the judgment dated 20‑9‑1981 of the Lahore High Court whereby a constitu tional petition arising out of a case under Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1958, was dismissed on grounds of ]aches. After hearing the learned counsel, we are satisfied that the long delay on the part of the petitioner which amounted to laches, has not been suffi ciently explained. Dismissal of the writ petition on this ground was unexcep tionable. No justification has been made out for interference by this Court. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Petition dismissed.
