ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.18262 of 2010 (G) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 14th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner joined service as Police Constable on 04/11/1951 and retired as a Circle Inspector on 31/12/1984. Complaint in this writ petition is that before retirement, his juniors were promoted as Circle Inspectors and Deputy Superintendents of Police. It appears that he made a complaint to that effect on 16/11/1981, which was replied by Ext.P1 dated 22/03/1982, that the complaint will be considered. Nothing appears to happen thereafter, and according to the petitioner, subsequent complaints also did not yield any result. It is in these circumstances, this writ petition is filed praying that his seniority should be refixed and his pension should be revised. In my view, the claim now made is highly belated, and that apart, if it is considered that will upset the seniority position of several others, which are settled for the last several years. For this reason, I am not inclined to consider the request made at this distance of time. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
