IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17057 of 2010 1. KESHAV PRASAD S/O SHRI RANGILA PRASAD R/O VILL.- LABHRY, P.S.- LABHRY, DISTT.- SIWAN Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY OLD SECRETARIAT, BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE DIRECTOR, SECONDARY EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, SIWAN 5. THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, SIWAN, DISTT.- SIWAN 6. THE HEAD MASTER KAVIR MUNESHWAR BALAK HIGH SCHOOL, DHANAUTI, DISTT.- SIWAN ----------- 2 11/05/2011 The Court is not convinced about the authenticity of the claim of the petitioner in view of the fact that the last of the representation filed by him in terms of annexure-3 is dated 30.03.1984. The stand of the petitioner is that he has been waiting for a suitable response to the said representation and it is only now that he has realized the folly of such wait does not sound convincing to this Court because no person who is vigilant about his right would wait for more than 26 years to assert the same to a writ Court. The school in question was taken over way back in the year 1983 and the services of all those eligible - 2 - persons have already been regularized. Obviously, the present writ application has been filed as an after thought without any substance based for making such an assertion. Even if, for the sake of argument, there may be some truth in some of the statements made in the writ application, the fact that the petitioner has slept over for his right for almost 26 years, if not more, is good enough for this Court not to entertain this writ application. This writ application is dismissed in the above circumstance. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
