He claims that he worked as such till 01.08.2004. Thereafter, admittedly, he was not paid his honorarium nor his contractual engagement was renewed. On the basis of a representation dated 08.02.2008 annexed as annexure-4 he claims that his case should be considered for his continuance and monetary benefits. There is nothing on record to show that the petitioner had filed his complaint or raised his grievance promptly and within the time as prescribed in the Guidelines 2 before any authority in respect of his disengagement or non-payment of his honorarium. In the circumstances, this Court finds that the writ application suffers from delay and laches. The same is dismissed. Arvind/ ( J.N. Singh, J.)
