THE OFFICER-IN -CHARGE GRIEVANCE CELL COLLECTORIATE , BHAGALPUR ----------- 02/ 30.06.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for the State. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of State. Petitioner was appointed on the post of ANM in Januaruy, 1989 and worked for four months. She was terminated from her service vide order dated 1.5.1989. After more than 20 years of the termination, this writ application has been filed by the petitioner for directing the respondents to reinstate her on the post of ANM. Only ground, which has been taken by the petitioner, for quashing of the termination order and her reinstatement is that other illegally appointed and terminated employees have been reinstated on the direction of the High Court issued in the writ application, as such her case should also be treated in similar manner and similar direction issued in her case. The - 2 - termination order of the year 1989 issued against other ANMs were challenged by them immediately in the year, 1991 by filing writ application, the case of petitioner is not similar to them, as after 20 years of issuance of termination order she has prayed for it’s quashing. Writ application filed after such a long delay cannot be entertained. It is fit to be dismissed on the point of limitation itself. This application is dismissed. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
