SUKHDEO YADAV S/O CHHATAR YADAV R/O MOHALLA MAHANRAPUR, P.S. SADAR, DISTT.- DARBHANGA ----------- 2. 2.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner came to this Court earlier in C.W.J.C. No. 2934 of 2004 for regularization. This Court on 28.7.2004 noticed that he was a retired work charged employee and during his service tenure he never agitated the matter before this Court. The Court declined interference on merits with only a gracious observation that his representation may be examined. This Court is satisfied that this grace observation did not enthuse fresh life into the claim of the petitioner in which the Court otherwise found no merit. The matter was left to the administrative authorities in their wisdom for further 2 action only. It appears that the authorities rejected his claim on 3.12.2005. The writ petition has then been filed nearly four and a half years latter on 13.11.2009. There is no merit in the application which also appears barred by gross unexplained delay and laches. The application is dismissed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
