IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.8776 of 2008 Kamlesh Prasad Singh, son of Late Kripal Singh, resident of village Etwa, P.S. Dawath, District- Rohtas. ………….. Petitioner Versus 1.The State Of Bihar 2.The Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna 3.The Director, Human Resources Development Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna 4.The Chairman, Bihar Staff Selection Commission, Patna-14 5.The Secretary, Bihar Staff Selection Commission, Patna. …………… Respondents ---------------------------------- 2. 16/08/2011 Petitioner has filed this writ application for a direction to the respondents to appoint him as Math Teacher in 10+2 School pursuant to Advertisement No.1/1987, interview in respect of which was held in the year 1991. He has further prayed for relaxation of age limit which he has crossed on account of inaction of the respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner filed a complaint in Janta Darbar before the Chief Minister in 2007. From Annexure-5 it appears that the complaint of the petitioner was processed and opinion was sought for from the Bihar Staff Selection Commission, which through its letter dated 25.1.2008 informed the Director, Secondary Education that the panel prepared on 2 the basis of interview held pursuant to the said Advertisement No.1/1987 had been cancelled by the Government and the Government had already requisitioned to the Commission for preparation of a fresh panel through letter no.189 dated 13.2.1997 and letter no.810 dated 5.8.1998. It is mentioned in the letter that even if the name of the petitioner was in the panel earlier, it could not be considered as the same stood cancelled by the Government long back. Apparently, process for appointment pursuant to Advertisement No.1/1987 stood cancelled as far back as in 1998 itself. Petitioner has filed this writ application after ten years of the same in 2008 basing his claim on the basis of his appearance in the Interview in 1991 in connection with said Advertisement No.1/1987. Clearly, petitioner has tried to abuse the process of the Court by filing this writ application with gross delay and laches. The same is dismissed with cost of Rs.2000/-, which the respondents shall realize from the petitioner. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
