Heard Shri Ravindra Nath Dubey, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Shashi Shekhar, learned A.C. to S.C.9. The petitioner, while invoking extraordinary writ jurisdiction of this Court, has prayed for directing the respondents to pay retiral benefit and other dues to the petitioner since he had completed service for more than 20 years. In paragraph-6 of the writ petition, specific statement has been made that the petitioner worked till 7.11.1985. Learned counsel for the State has raised serious objection and submitted that in such a stale matter, this Court may not interfere. Learned counsel for the petitioner 2 made a prayer for withdrawal of the writ petition, but at the same time, he wanted that this Court may give an observation for filing representation. In view of specific statement made by the petitioner that he worked till 7.11.1985 and thereafter for such long delay, there is no cogent explanation, the court is of the opinion that neither any relief can be granted nor any observation can be made for revival of a dispute, which has already lost its significance. This writ petition stands dismissed. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
