Ashok Paper Mill Circle Hayaghat, District Darbhanga…………………………………………………………..….Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The Divisional Commissioner. 3. The District Magistrate, Darbhanga. 4. The Deputy Director, Welfare, Darbhanga. 5. The District Welfare Officer, Darbhanga. 6. The Block Development Officer, Hayaghat, Darbhanga. 7. The Mukhiya, Gram Panchayat Raj Sidhauli, Block Hayaghat, District Darbhanga. 8. The Panchayat Secretary, Gram Panchayat Sidhauli, Block Hayaghat, District Darbhanga……………………………………………………………..Respondents ----------- 3 24.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Petitioner has filed this writ application raising his grievance with regard to non-consideration of his case for appointment on the post of Panchayat Shiksha Mitra. Even if the recommendation of the Block Development Officer, Hayaghat, as contained in Annexure-5, in favour of the petitioner, is taken as correct, the same is dated 01.12.2005, and thereafter petitioner sat over the matter for more than three years and filed this writ 2 application only on 05.01.2009. After the Bihar Panchayat Prarambhik Shikshak (Niyojan Avam Seva Sart) Niyamvali, 2006 came into force on 01.07.2006, posts of Panchayat Shiksha Mitra are not in existence and, therefore, recommendation of the Block Development Officer dated 01.012.2005 cannot be obviously acted upon. The writ application is dismissed on account of delay and laches. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
