IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15798 of 2005 BHAGWAT PRASAD . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 3 19.05.2010 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. Mr. Manoj Kumar Jha, learned A.C. to G.A.1 for the State and Mr. J.P. Karn, learned counsel for the Accountant General are present. The petitioner superannuated with effect from 31.1.1994 and seeks to raise an issue of counting the service period from 1.5.1970 to 26.6.1976 as qualifying service for the purpose of pension and pensionary entitlements. The petitioner having superannuated from 31.1.1994, the raising of the issue aforesaid after a lapse of 11 years without any explanation as to the delay, cannot be entertained. In addition thereto, even the prayer is misconceived. The writ petition is thus dismissed in limine on grounds of unexplained laches and delay and for raising a stale claim before this Court.
