IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 859 OF 2006 Balkrishna Dwivedi .. .... Petitioner. V/s Union of India & Ors.. .. Respondents. Mr.G.R.Khan, Adv. for the petitioner. None for respondents. CORAM: V.G. PALSHIKAR, Ag.C.J. AND SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. 17.02.2006. PC: The petitioner in this petition was removed from services of C.I.S.F. a unit of J.N.P.T. , Sheva for unauthorised absence. The removal from service took place after following the procedure of departmental enquiry. The order by the Disciplinary Authority was passed on 1.10.1990. The petitioner then preferred an appeal before the Competent Authority and the appeal was rejected on 14.6.1995. From June, 1995 till June, 2005 nothing was done by the petitioner. Then he approached the High Court Judicature at Allahabad where he was non suited for lack of jurisdiction and hence this petition is filed. 2. There is no reason given for this inordinate delay in approaching the Court. The cause is considered by the department to be serious enough as a matter of breach of discipline and hence after 10 years we see no reason to interfere. Petition stands dismissed.
