PRIMARY SCHOOL, HARDI, P.O. HARAL, P.S. & DISTT. SUPAUL ----------- 02/ 03.05.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner has filed this application for quashing of the order dated 17.9.2009 passed by the District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal, Supaul in Case No. 424 of 2009, dismissing the appeal preferred by the petitioner on the point of limitation. The process of appointment initiated in the year, 2006, completed in the same year and the petitioner was not issued appointment letter. His grievance is that respondent no. 6 having lesser mark than the petitioner was appointed, ignoring his claim and merit. Petitioner did not raise any objection against the - 2 - appointment of Respondent No. 6, for complete three years. The reason assigned by the petitioner for not challenging the appointment of respondent no. 6 for this period, is not at all convincing. I do not find any error in the finding recorded by the Tribunal that the appeal preferred by the petitioner was time barred, as such not maintainable. This application is dismissed.
