IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11671 of 2007 M/S BALAJI ENGINEERING WORKS INDUSTRIAL AREA LAKHISARAI, APPEARING THROUGH ITS PROPRIETOR LALIT KUMAR BANKA SON OF LATE KUNJ LAL BANKA, RESIDENT OF LAKHISARAI, P.S. LAKHISARAI TOW AND DISTRICT LAKHISARAI. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE SECRETARY, PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE SUPERINTENDING ENGINEER, PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING CIRCLE, MUNGER. 4. THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING DIVISION, SHEIKHPURA (MUNGER) ----------- 2 22/02/2010 So called impugned communication contained in annexure-7 dated 26.11.2002 by virtue of which prayer for grant of interest on belated payment under the Small Scale and Ancillary Industrial Undertaking Act, 1993 was rejected. After the said communication in 2002 the petitioner chose to file the present writ application only in September, 2007. On being pointedly asked for the reasons for five years time for moving the Court and asserting his right, the petitioner states in paragraph 21 that he had been filing representations. Law is already well settled by the Hon’ble Supreme Court that filing of repeated representations is no ground and that cannot be treated as a ground for condoning laches and omissions of the kind. Obviously, the petitioner has slept - 2 - over his right and assertion thereof for long time. No direction can be given at such a belated stage. This writ application is accordingly dismissed.
