Laches

--- Arts. 199 & 189 --- Constitutional jurisdiction --- Laches --- Void ab initio order --- No limitation against violation of binding judgment of the Supreme Court --- Scope --- Delay or laches in filing constitutional petitions before High Court does not create a bar where the impugned order is void ab initio and without lawful authority --- Even if a writ petition is filed after considerable lapse of time, the High Court is legally justified in entertaining and deciding the matter on merits where the order under challenge has been passed in patent violation of the binding law declared by the Supreme Court --- An order passed in disregard of the final judgment of the Supreme Court and in violation of Article 189 is without jurisdiction and void from its inception, against which no period of limitation runs.
