1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 6171 OF 2010 Sahebrao S/o Shantaram More .. Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra and others .. Respondents Shri R. M. Deshmukh, Advocate for the Petitioner. Smt. A. V. Gondhalekar, A.G.P. for Respondent Nos. 1 and 2. CORAM : P. V. HARDAS AND N. D. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE : 21ST JULY, 2010. ORAL ORDER [Per P. V. HARDAS, J. ] : . This is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by which the petitioner prays for quashing and setting aside the appointment orders of respondent Nos. 5 and 6, who had been appointed some time in the year 2003. 2. According to the petitioner, the petitioner is a project affected person and accordingly the name of the petitioner came 2 to be enrolled in the register maintained by the District Collector. The petitioner contends that, respondent Nos. 5 and 6 who were junior to him in the order of seniority of their claim, have been appointed as live stock supervisor. The claim of the petitioner has been completely ignored by the respondents. The appointment of respondent No. 5 and 6 had been made in the year 2003 and this petition has been filed in June 2010 questioning their appointments. 3. The petitioner has not prayed substantially for appointing him in place of respondent Nos. 5 and 6. In any event there is enormous delay of about seven and half years in challenging the appointments of respondent Nos. 5 and 6. In that light of the matter, therefore, we are not inclined to interfere in this petition and accordingly, this writ petition is summarily dismissed with costs. [ N. D. DESHPANDE, J.] [ P. V.
