WP(C) 6184/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Heard Mr. K.K. Baruah, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard M r. M.K. Mishra, learned Standing Counsel, Education Department. The four petitioners involved in this writ petition have claimed salary from December, 1999. As per the averments made in the writ petition, the petitio ners have been serving in the respective Schools from the date of joining pursua nt to the orders of appointment issued by then In-charge DI of Schools, Mangaldo i on 4.12.1999. Except annexing the typed copy of the purported appointment orde rs, all dated 4.121.1999 and also the typed copy of the un-dated joining reports (Annexure-V, Annexure-VI, Annexure-VII and Annexure-VIII), no other documents h ave been annexed to the writ petition. No materials have been placed in the writ petition to show that the petitioners were validly appointed and after such app ointment, they have been rendering their services. There is also nothing to indi cate as to what the petitioners did for the last 11 years for redressal of their grievance. This is precisely the reason as to why Mr. Mishra, learned Standing Counsel, Education has raised the question of maintainability of the writ petiti on on the ground of delay and latches. He has drawn my attention to the order of this court dated 11.6.2010 passed in WP(C) 3293/2010 (Shia Mohammed Ali Vs. Th e State of Assam and others). The said writ petition was dismissed in which a cl aim was made for payment of arrear salary from January, 1996. Be it stated here that the same very petitioner i.e. Shia Mohammed Ali filed another writ petition being WP(C) 6165/2010 claiming the same relief and this court noticing the earl ier order and also the fact that the petitioner was not validly appointed, dismi ssed the writ petition by order passed today (22.11.2010). In the aforesaid order dated 11.6.2010 passed in WP(C) 3293/2010, this c ourt noticing the fact that no material particulars have been disclosed in the w rit petition and there was gross delay and latches on the part of the petitioner to approach this court, dismissed the writ petition following the said orders a nd also in view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to a dmit the writ petition and the same is dismissed in limine.
