Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Shruti Sinha For the Respondent/s : Mr. Girija Shankar Pd GP1 ====================================================== 2 13-07-2011 This Court is not enthused by whatever explanation being offered by the counsel for the petitioner including the fact that his client belonged to a disciplined force and that was the reason that he did not demand salary for the period 1.3.1999 to 30.9.2000. Petitioner has been in service for long and it is only in February, 2011 that he has retired and it has taken him to realize now that he was not paid salary. If the petitioner has not asserted his right within a reasonable time-frame when cause of action arose, this Court will not entertain such stale and belated claim. Writ is dismissed. rkp/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
