For the State : Mr. Santosh Kumar Singh, S.C.22 ----------- 2 08.04.2010 The appellant invoked the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the 2 Constitution of India by filing CWJC No. 10423 of 2009 whereby he had prayed for quashment of the appointment of respondents no. 14 and 15 on the post of Panchayat Shiksha Mitra in the year 2005 on the ground that they had secured less marks than her. Learned single Judge has declined to interfere as terms was over and Panchayat Shiksha Mistra services had been regularized. Be that as it may, we are of the considered opinion when the selection process was finalized in the year 2005 and the appellant challenged the same in the year 2009 after expiry of four years, the same cannot be really entertained and accordingly, the appeal, being devoid of merit, stands dismissed in limine. kanchan (Dipak Misra, CJ.)
