THE O/C MEDICAL OFFICER, SUB DIVISIONAL HOSPITAL, JAMUE (MUNGER) ----------- 2 10/05/2011 The petitioner came to be dismissed by an order dated 30.04.1993. Matter related to appointment of Class III or Class IV posts by the erstwhile Dr. Mallik which has a long history behind such appointment. Whatever be the contention of the learned counsel, the fact stands that 17 years old dismissal matter cannot be permitted to be re-agitated or open now for obvious reasons. This writ application suffers from laches and - 2 - delay on the face of it and is dismissed for that reason alone. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
