SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--This is a petition for special leave to appeal from the order dated 18-12-1979 of the Lahore High Court, dismissing the constitutional petition of the petitioner from an order dated 29-1-1977 of the Deputy Claims Commissioner.

2. One of the grounds taken by the High Court in dismissing the constitutional petition was that it suffered from laches. It may be mentioned that the Deputy Claims Commissioner had passed his order on 29-1-1977. The constitutional petition was not moved in the High Court till 21-11-1979. There is no satisfactory explanation why the petitioner took almost three years in approaching the High Court. We' would accordingly dismiss this petition.
