IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3568 of 2008 RITA KUMARI, W/O KUMAR UPENDRA NATH, R/O VILLAGE-DHABAUL TOLA, RAM NAGAR, P.S.- AURANGABAD (TOWN), DISTRICT-AURANGABAD. ………………PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, AURANGABAD. 3. BLOCK EDUCATION EXTENSION OFFICER, AURANGABAD. 4. MUKHIYA, BELA GRAM PANCHAYAT, AURANGABAD. 5. SECRETARY, BELA GRAM PANCHAYAT, AURANGABAD. ……………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3 04.07.2011 As per the case of the petitioner her engagement as Shiksha Mitra was cancelled by order dated 07.09.2005 wrongly holding her as over-age on the date of her engagement. However, records do not show that against such disengagement petitioner ever filed any complaint before the competent authority till she filed this writ application before this Court after three years. Petitioner has therefore raised her grievance for the first time after the Rules have changed and the post of Siksha Mitra became regular post and the incumbents holding the post as on 01.07.2006 became Panchayat Teacher. Obviously, the petitioner, as an afterthought, has approached this Court after unexplained delay of three years. 2 The writ application is accordingly dismissed on account of delay and laches.
