The Commandant, Bihar Military Police -2, Dehri District Rohtas 5. The Deputy Inspector General of Police Armed Police (Central Zone), Bihar, Patna….Respondents ----------- 02- 17.04.09 Heard mr. Arun Kumar Singh no.4 for the petitioner, and learned Assistant Counsel to AAG II for the respondents. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 19.7.2003 (Annexure 8), passed by respondent no.2, whereby the petitioner’s representation seeking a higher pay-scale has been rejected. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner along with others had earlier preferred CWJC No.202 of 2003 (Birendra Upadhyay and others v. State of Bihar and others) for identical relief, which was disposed of by order dated 13.1.2003 (Annexure 6), whereby respondent no.2 was directed to dispose of the petitioners’ representation within a period of three months. The representation has been rejected by the impugned order. In the meantime, apprehending non-disposal of the representation the - 2 - petitioner had preferred MJC No. 995 of 2003, which was rejected for non-compliance of the order dated 30.8.2004. The impugned order was passed on 19.7.2003, and the present writ petition was lodged in this Court on 16.4.2009. Learned government counsel has rightly raised the objection that the writ petition suffers from unexplained delay, laches, negligence, and acquiescence. 3. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
