M. Deshpande, A. G. P. for the respondent no.1 Mr. B. G. Kulkarni, Advocate for the Respondent no.3 CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : 11th August, 2011. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. By this petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent nos.2 and 3 to grant approval to the post of the petitioner as ‘Lecturer in Physical Education’. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner has been appointed in pursuance of his selection on 12.02.1999 and inspite of his appointment in the month of February, 1999, the respondent no.3-University has not granted approval to the petitioner’s appointment on the post of Lecturer in Physical Education. On hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the petition, it appears that 2 there is nothing on record to show that the petitioner was actually appointed as Lecturer in Physical Education. The petition also suffers from latches and the same cannot be entertained as the petition has been filed after a period of nearly 12 years from the date of appointment of the petitioner as Lecturer in Physical Education and the petitioner has also not explained the delay caused in filing the writ petition. In such circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE Diwale
