-: 1 :- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.107 OF 2008 Ramvilas M. Bangad : Petitioner V/s. The Chairman and Managing Director, National Textile Corporation & Ors. : Respondents ... Ms Gayatri Singh for the petitioner. Mr.Omkar Joshi i/b. Mrs.Meena Doshi for the respondents. ... CORAM : BILAL NAZKI & S.A.BOBDE,JJ. DATE : JANUARY 24, 2008. P.C. 1. This is a Writ Petition challenging the order dated 9.5.2007 rejecting the application of the petitioner for re-fixation of his pay with effect from 25.7.1986. 2. It appears that the petitioner had filed a Writ Petition, being Writ Petition no.365 of 2007. The Writ Petition was disposed of by a Division Bench of this Court on 16.4.2007 giving liberty to the petitioner to submit an additional representation and upon making such a representation, the Competent Authority was directed to pass an order. Now the order has been passed in pursuance -: 2 :- of the directions of the High Court and it is impugned in the present Writ Petition. 3. The matter relates back to 1986 and also to a Memorandum issued on 26.11.1990. It is too late in the day to complain of fixation of pay in 1986 or in the year 1990. Even after the issuance of the circular in 1990 on which the petitioner relies, the petitioner waited for 17 years to approach this Court. In this view of the matter, since the respondents have considered the request of the petitioner and rejected it for valid reasons, we do not find at this point of time that there is a case which can be entertained by this Court. 4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to take any other remedy that may be available to him in law. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (S.A. BOBDE, J.)
