Present : Shri Ashish Shrivastava, counse! for the petitioner. Shri Sumesh Bajaj, Government Advocate for the State. ORAL ORDER (Passed on 20<h SVSarch, 2007) The petitioner was working as a Timekeeper on dally wage basls. (2) At the verge of his retirement from the sen/lce, he had filed a representation before the respondents to consider his case for reguiarization. Since that was^not done by the respondents, he filed an original appiication before the Madhya Pradesh Administrative Tribunat, Bench Raipur in the year 2002, v\/hich is received to this Court on transfer. (3) Learned Government Advoca^e appearing for the State/respondents, by way of prelimlnary objeotion, v^ould submit that there is enormous deiay in filing the originai appiication and, therefore, the writ petition requires to be rejeoted. (4) Admittedly, the petitioner was working as a Timekeeper on daily wage basis right from the year 1979. It is oniy just on the verge of his retirement from the service, he approached the respondents for reguiarization of his semces. There is a delay of nearly two decades from the date of his initial appointment on daily wage basis. The deiay in fiiing the representation and thereafter approaching to the Administrative Tribunal is fatal to the proceedings, therefore, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. (5) In that view of the matter, the writ petition requires to be and is accordingly rejected. Ordered accordingty. 1 SdA ChiefJustice
