IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1563 of 2009 Sri Domi Paswan, S/O Late Ramjee Paswan, Resident of Village- Naodega, P.S. Baheri, District- Darbhanga ----------- Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar through Chief Secretary, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 2. District Magistrate, Darbhanga 3. Sub Divisional Officer, Sadar, Darbhanga 4. Superintendent of Police, Darbhanga 5. Officer Incharge, Baheri P.S. Darbhanga, District-Darbhanga --- Respondents. ------------- 2. 2.2.2009 None appears on behalf of the petitioner. Heard Mr. Rana Ishwar Chandra, learned Assistant Counsel to Government Pleader No.13. The petitioner claims to have superannuated from the services of the Bihar Government with effect from 30.4.1998, after completing 40 years of service to the Bihar Government while he was functioning as a Chaukidar. He seeks correction of the date of birth which, if granted would result in his superannuation at a later date. It appears to me that the petitioner has raised this issue belatedly. His writ petition suffers from un- explained delay, laches, negligence and acquiescence. The impugned order dated 8.9.2008 (Annexure-5), rejecting the prayer of the petitioner, is hereby upheld. The writ petition is dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar , J.)
