D.B. Civil Special Appeal (Writ) No.25/99 B.M. Sharma & Anr. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr. Date:12/02/2009 HON'BLE Mr. JUSTICE ASHOK PARIHAR HON'BLE Mr. JUSTICE G.S. SARRAF Ms. Neelam Pareek, for appellants. Mr. A.K. Bhandari, Mr. Ganesh Meena, Govt. Counsel, for respondents. BY THE COURT: After hearing learned counsel for the parties, we have carefully gone through the material on record. Admittedly, the provisional seniority list of the initial cadre was published on 23.3.1981 and the same was finalized on 1.2.1983, whereas the writ petition was filed by the appellants in the year 1998 only. The learned Single Judge while dismissing the writ petition on the ground of inordinate delay, also observed that during the entire period of 15 years rights inter se of the persons placed above the petitioners in the final seniority list had crystallized and the petitioners cannot be promoted to reopen the matter after inordinate delay of 15 years until and unless the final seniority list is disbursed. It may further be observed that even the final seniority list published way back in the year 1983 had not been challenged and persons promoted during the intervening period on different higher scales have also not been impleaded as party to the writ petition. Since after due consideration proper discretion has already been used by the learned Single Judge, we find no ground for any further interference of this court. The appeal is dismissed accordingly as having no merits. (G.S. Sarraf) J. (Ashok Parihar) J.
