Respondents/Respondents ====================================================== Appearance : For the Appellants : Mr. Ravi Ranjan, Advocate For the Respondent State: Mr. G.K. Agrawal, GA-10 Mr. K. Ravish, A.C. to G.A.-10 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE BIRENDRA PRASAD VERMA ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 3. 09-12-2011 The appellant-writ petitioner challenges the order dated 19th April 2011 made by the learned single Judge in above C.W.J.C. No. 2790 of 2010 by preferring the present Appeal under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent. The appellant claims to be a social worker. His challenge to the appointment of respondent nos. 9 to 14 as Anganbari Sevika made in 2005 has been rejected by the learned single Judge on the ground of delay and laches. We are of the opinion that the appellant did not have the locus standi to challenge the appointment of the respondents. The writ petition is rightly dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. It also deserved to be dismissed on the ground of locus standi to file the writ petition. We see no merit in this Appeal. Appeal and the Interlocutory Application are dismissed in limine.
