IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.4375 of 2008 Smt.Malti Devi, W/o Sri Parshuram Choudhary, R/o Mohalla Diwan Mohalla behind Bank of Barodra, P.S. Patna City, District Patna…………………………………………………………………….…Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through its Secretary, Health Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Civil Surgeon, District Gaya. 3. The Incharge Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre, Kotch, Gaya………..Respondents --------------- 4 21.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Petitioner has filed this writ application for a direction to the respondents to pay her due salary of May 1998, November 1998 and December 1998. From Annexure-1 it appears that petitioner, after superannuation in 2000, had moved this Court for a direction to the respondents for payment of her retiral dues. The writ application was disposed of as it was found from the counter affidavit that all the retiral dues of petitioner had been paid which was not disputed by the petitioner. From the order it does not appear that at any point of time, petitioner had raised any claim with regard 2 to arrears of her salary of the said three months. Now in 2008 she is filing this writ application for payment salary of the said three months. Apparently, the application suffers from gross delay and laches. The same is dismissed. BT (J. N.
