IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2117 of 2009 MADHUSUDAN SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 12.2.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner. On the own showing of the petitioner a cause of action for him to claim B.A. trained scale of pay had arisen in 1992 but in the year 1996 he was only given I.A. trained scale of pay. The petitioner has already retired from service in the year 2004. The writ application filed in the year 2009 for claiming benefit of the year 1992 seems to be wholly misconceived. That being so, this writ application is dismissed only on the ground of delay and laches. Such dismissal, however, will not stand in the way of the petitioner if he has any other remedy available in law. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
