WP(C) 5888/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA The petitioner who was selected for appointment as Constable (GD ) under the Assam Rifles and was discharged from service while was in training w ay back in 2001, to be precise on 31.10.2001, has filed this writ petition after 10 years of such discharge. The delay of more than 10 years is sought to be ex plained by referring to the representations made by the petitioner from time to time. On perusal of Annexure-A discharge certificate dated 09.10.2001, it is see n that the ground of the same was medical. The petitioner was declared medically unfit. Now after 10 years the petitioner has prayed for re-examination of his m edical fitness. Heard Mr. P. Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. N. Dutta, learned CGC. On being asked about the unexplained delay in filing the wr it petition, learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to the last represe ntation dated 01.09.2011 (Annexure -D). Needless to say that repeated representations do not save limitation. In the case of Ratan Chandra Sammanta and ors. vs. Union of India and ors. reporte d in AIR 1993 SC 2276, the Apex court dealing with a retrenched railway employee who had approached the court after about 15 years claiming same relief like tha t of other retrenched employees, while dismissing the writ petition, held that t he delay itself defeats the right, if any. The petitioner having been discharge d from service long 10 years back, cannot now agitate his grievance relating to the same. In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed.
