Judgment ORDER 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.
