By consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage. 3. The petitioner has come up with the present writ petition for a Mandamus directing the respondents to reinstate him in services and consequently, grant him backwages and all attendant benefits. 4. The case of the petitioner in nutshell as putforth in his affidavit is stated hereunder: The petitioner had worked in Science Department, Madurai Kamaraj University, as temporary Lab Assistant and he was in employment from 1986 to 1999. Thereafter, he was terminated from services without any enquiry and in his place a permanent https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 technical staff has been appointed. Hence, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition for the relief stated earlier. 5. I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition for the following reasons: Firstly, the petitioner has not stated when he was terminated from services. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner was terminated from services in the year 2000. In such circumstances, the petitioner should have challenge the order of termination. But, he has not chosen to do so and the present writ petition is filed only for a Mandamus to reinstate him in services with backwages and all attendant benefits. Secondly, the petitioner, who is said to have been terminated in the year 2000, has not challenged the same within a reasonable time. He has approached this Court only in the year 2011. 6. In view of the above stated reasons, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition and the writ petition stands dismissed. However, there is no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
