IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5358 of 2010 1. RAJESH RANJAN S/O LATE RAM JEE PRASAD R/O VILL.- BIJALPUR, P.O. AND P.S.- VIHRA, DISTT.- SAHARSA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE COMMISSIONER-CUM-PRINCIPAL SECRETARY HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE DIRECTOR, PRIMARY EDUCATION GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA 3. THE REGIONAL DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION KOSHI DIVISION, AT SAHARSA 4. THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, SAHARSA 5. THE BLOCK EDUCATION EXTENTION OFFICER MAHASHI AT SAHARSA ----------- 3 14/02/2011 Annexure-1 is the order passed by the Director, Primary Education, Bihar, Patna by virtue of which claim of the petitioner for payment of salary which according to him accrued in his favour in the year 1988 has been rejected now on the ground that the petitioner was appointed when he was under age by the Managing Committee. This order is again being challenged in the present writ application. Besides the ground which has been given by the Director, when the Court put pointed question to the learned counsel for the petitioner as to what is his explanation for not moving the High Court when - 2 - admittedly, according to him, his service was regularized by the Regional Director way back in the year 1988, he chose to remain silent and he says that the issue cannot be gone into now in view of liberty given by the Division Bench. There is no indulgence shown by the Division Bench on this point that this question cannot be raised or the petitioner is not bound to explain to the High Court satisfactorily as to why he had approached the High Court after more than 25 years. The Court is not bound to come to the rescue of the petitioner at his beck and call and at a time convenient to him. Be that as it may, this Court is not willing to rake up this issue after so many years. This writ application is dismissed for laches and delay if not acquiescence. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
