If the petitioner moves the SC after 4/5 years, is he required to explain why he did not come forward so far?

THERE IS NO STRICT LIMITATION. HOWEVER, PETITION SHOULD BE MOVED WITHIN REASONABLE TIME.

YES THERE IS NO LIMITATION BUT THERE SHOULD NOT BE ENORMOUS DELAY OR ELSE IT WILL BE DISMISSED ON THE GROUND OF LACHES AND DELAY

No limitation is prescribed for filing writ petitions. However, if a writ petition is filed belatedly it may attract delay and latches and there is every possibility that the writ may be rejected at the threshold, unless a cogent reason is shown for the delay.

No limitation for filing WRIT petitions, but there might be a good reason stated in the affidavit, if there is a delay.
If the question involved in the WRIT petition is a substantial one, then the delay is neither be a matter
