OF POLICE BIHAR MILITARY POLICE, BIHAR, PATNA----- -----------------------------RESPONDENTS. ----------- 4 2.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. This Court has already dismissed several writ applications of other petitioners who were seeking direction for appointment on the basis of the recruitment drive made for constable by virtue of Advertisement No.1 of 1998 by giving detailed reasons which also applies to the case of these petitioners. These four petitioners are also claimants for appointment under the said advertisement. It is too late in the day for this Court to give direction for appointment of these petitioners on the post of constable, keeping in mind the year of advertisement as also the fact that the posts have already been filled up and other recruitment drive has also been carried out after that period. The appointment, after all, is not an on going process which can be carried out from one decade to next. Some litigation must be allowed to rest. This writ application is one of them. This writ application is dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
