Interlocutory Application No. 6002 of 2010 This Appeal, preferred under Clause X of the Letters Patent, arises from the judgment and order dated 2nd April 2010 passed by the learned single Judge in C.W.J.C. No. 18483 of 2009. - 2 - The Appellant’s claim for appointment as Lower Division Clerk pursuant to the advertisement dated 18th March 1993 has been rejected on the ground of delay and laches. The Appeal is barred by limitation by 65 days. We have heard learned Advocate Mr. Arup Kumar Chongdar on the merits of the Appeal. We see no substance in this Appeal. The learned single Judge has rightly rejected the claim on the ground of delay, laches and acquiescence. For the aforesaid reason, the Interlocutory Application No. 6002 of 2010 filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act is rejected. Consequently, the Letters Patent Appeal stands disposed of.
