IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13813 of 2009 MD.KHAIRUL HAQ Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 03/11/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner contends that he was an applicant for the post of Constable under an advertisement passed in 2004. In a dispute with regard to his height as a condition of eligibility his claim was rejected on 28.2.2005. He then claims to have represented on 19.9.2005. Service matters have their own urgency. Third party rights also accrue by issue of appointment to others. The petitioner has only himself to blame in having approached this Court nearly four years later on 15.10.2009. Since the petitioner himself chose not to pursue any legal remedies, this Court finds it difficult to entertain the writ application on that ground alone. The writ application is dismissed on grounds of delay and laches. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
