Respondents ----------- For the petitioner : M/s Pramod Kumar & Ritesh Kumar,Adv. For the State : G.P.-8 ---------- 4. 14/07/2011 Grievance of the petitioner is that though he was selected for engagement as Shiksha Mitra, he was not issued appointment letter. There is nothing on the record to show that petitioner filed any complaint before the appropriate authority immediately thereafter and in any case prior to 2006 Rules came into force by which post of Shiksha Mitra was re-designated as Panchayat Teacher. It appears that after the situation 2 changed, petitioner, as an after thought, filed a complaint and thereafter this writ application. In the circumstances, I find that the writ application suffers from delay and laches. Therefore, the same is dismissed. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
