ssp 1 WP 4979 of 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.4979 OF 2010 Prakash Ramchandra Vakode .....Petitioner versus The Commissioner of Mahanagar Palika, Greater Mumbai and Anr. ..... Respondents Ms.Kranti Kamble, for the petitioner. CORAM: P.B.MAJMUDAR & A.A.SAYED, JJ. DATE: 22nd FEBRUARY, 2011. P.C. : 1. The grievance raised by the petitioner is too stale to be considered by this Court. According to the petitioner, he was serving as a Peon and in the year 1985, his services were terminated. The petitioner was subjected to criminal proceedings under Section 376 of Indian Penal Code, of which he was acquitted in the year 1999. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the services of the petitioner were wrongly terminated, even though he was acquitted of the criminal charges. It is pertinent to note that even though the acquittal order was passed in the year 1999, for almost 11 years petitioner did not take any steps for reinstatement in service and after such a long time, petition cannot be entertained. Hence, writ petition is rejected. ( A.A.SAYED, J. ) ( P.B.MAJMUDAR, J. )
