According to the roster system of appointments, only one vacancy was available for handicapped persons which has gone to one Pravin Kumar Mishra. Secondly, the - 2 - roster was prepared way back in 2000 and the appointment was made in 2004, whereas the present writ petition was lodged in this Court on 30.1.2009. The writ petition suffers from unexplained delay, laches, negligence, and acquiescence. 3. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
