After completion of term, his engagement was not renewed. Learned counsel for the petitioner has failed to point out any material to show that thereafter petitioner raised any grievance or claim before any authority against his non-engagement for the second term. In the circumstances, this writ 2 application filed in 2008, suffers from gross delay and laches. The same is dismissed. However, if the petitioner has not been paid his honorarium for the period he was engaged in the first term, he shall be entitled for it and concerned respondent shall see to it that the arrears are paid to him positively within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
