Respondent/s ============================================= Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : None For the Respondent/s : None ============================================= 2 09-09-2011 No body appears on behalf of the petitioner. Same is the case with respect to the respondents. Petitioner, having been superannuated on 31.3.1995 from the services of the respondent Patna Municipal Corporation (for short “ the Corporation”), has filed the present writ petition in the year 2008 raising a grievance that he was not considered for upgradation of scale in terms of recommendation of 4th Pay Revision Committee adopted by the Government vide resolution bearing No. 10770 dated 30.12.1981. On going through the pleadings made in the writ petition, it appears that the petitioner is raising a stale claim and this Court, in the facts and circumstances of the case, would not invoke its extraordinary and discretionary writ jurisdiction in the matter. The application is dismissed. However, the dismissal of the application will not preclude the petitioner from raising his grievance by way of representation before the appropriate authority of the respondent Corporation and the appropriate authority of the Corporation from considering his claim in accordance with law.
