The Managing Director, High Tension Insulator Factory, Namkum, Ranchi ----------- 4. 02.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondents. The cause of action in the writ petition seeking relief to be considered for appointment is dated 5.9.1988. The justification for the filing of the writ petition in the year 2010 is certain alleged information obtained under the Right to Information Act in the year 2009. The petitioner has a long and unexplained delay from 1988 to 2009 to explain why he did not pursue his remedies by approaching the competent Court in time. The Court is not persuaded to entertain such a belated application for a claim of appointment which undoubtedly shall have its repercussions for the employer as also those in service who may be affected thereby. 2 The application is dismissed on the ground of delay.
