Brief background of the facts are as follows: Petitioner, on being selected for the post of Constable (G.D.) in C.R.P.F., was offered letter of appointment (Annexure-1) on 4.7.2003. It is the case of the petitioner that pursuant thereto, he submitted his joining on 18.7.2003. The recruitment made by the Group Centre of the C.R.P.F. became subject matter of C.B.I. enquiry. In this situation, the authorities by communication dated 28.3.2004 (Annexure-2) directed the petitioner to go home as there was enquiry in respect of the 2 process of selection. It was informed therein that he would be sent for training after the enquiry is over. By letter dated 1.9.2005(Annexure-3), he was again summoned for fresh medical examination since the enquiry conducted by the C.B.I. was over. On being subjected to medical test, he was offered fresh letter of appointment on 7.2.2006 (Annexure-4). It is the case of the petitioner that he rejoined the post on 6.3.2006. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that in the aforesaid facts/situation, he is entitled to get salary from the date of his initial joining till 6.3.2006 when he was again offered a letter of appointment and he joined the post. The petitioner also prayed for a direction upon the respondents to count his seniority with effect from the date of his initial joining i.e. 18.7.2003. Learned counsel submits that in the similar facts/situation, few writ petitions being C.W.J.C. No. 19731 of 2010 (Mukesh Kumar Singh versus Union of India & Ors) and other analogous writ petitions were heard and disposed of on 14.1.2011 by a Bench of this Court. It is contended that the case of the petitioner is required to be considered by the authorities in the light of order passed in the aforesaid batch of writ petitions. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that there seems to be inordinate delay on the part of the petitioner in approaching this Court. A stand has been taken that the petitioner, if files a representation in this regard before the appropriate authority of the C.R.P.F., the same shall be considered in the light of order dated 14.1.2011 passed in 3 C.W.J.C.
