WA 95/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. MADAN B. LOKUR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.C.UPADHYAY The appellant is aggrieved by an order dated 21.4.2009 passed by a learned Singl e Judge in WP(C) No.8137/2005. The appellant was employed as a Paniwalla on compassionate ground on 8.1.1993. F or reasons that are not very clear, she was disengaged from that post on 30.11.1 996 and then appointed as a Muster Roll Worker. The appellant challenged her removal from the post of Paniwalla and adjustment a s a Muster Roll Worker by filing a writ petition in 2005. Even though the writ petition was filed after a lapse of almost 10 years, it was entertained and partially allowed inasmuch as it was held by the learned Single Judge that the removal of the appellant from the post of Paniwalla was not just ified. Accordingly, the learned Single Judge directed the reinstatement of the a ppellant in the post of Paniwalla but in view of the delay in approaching the Co urt, the learned Single Judge declined to grant any differential salary. At this stage, it may be mentioned that on 2.12.2005 an interim order was passed in favour of the appellant whereby she was allowed to continue to work as a Pan iwalla pursuant to her appointment order dated 8.1.1993. The claim of the appell ant for backwages and the arrears is therefore from 30.11.1996 to 2.12.2005. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that since the appellant was wrongly r emoved from the post of Paniwalla, she is entitled to the differential salary. In our view, since there is an unexplained and enormous delay of 10 years in app roaching the Court, there is no case for interference with the order under appea l. There is no explanation why the appellant did not take any steps during the p eriod from 1996 to 2005 for raising a dispute with the respondents. We do no fin d the view of the learned Single Judge to be perverse considering the unexplaine d and enormous delay in approaching the Court. In the circumstances, we do not find any merit in this writ appeal and it is acc ordingly dismissed.
