Superintendent of Police, West Champaran. ----------- 03. 14.7.2010 One of the primary reason why this Court is not willing to entertain any prayer for a direction upon the respondents to consider the case for appointment to the post of constable is the time period when the advertisement was issued for selection and when the matter is being finally heard now. The advertisement in question is advertisement no. 1 of 1998 for which selections had already been made. Second process for selection was made in the year 2004 and in none of these selection process petitioners have found a place. 12 years are long time for any selection process to continue and for the court to issue direction for appointment. In addition to that a clear statement has been made in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents that total number of posts which were 2 advertised for the Champaran range was 618. Entire process of selection has already been completed and appointments made years ago. It is further submitted that the reason for non- appointment of the petitioners was their lack of height in the respective category and it is not the case that the petitioners in any way had been discriminated. Every litigation must reach an end within some time frame. Process of appointment initiated a decade ago in 1998 cannot be continued in 2010. The writ application is misplaced. It is dismissed. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
