The petitioner is aggrieved by the non-payment of her salary sin ce the year 1996.

Though, the respondents claimed that no order of extension of the said term was passed there after, she continued to render her services. Eventually, by the order dated 12. 01.2000, she was adjusted at Kulhati Girls’ High School. Prior thereto, by the Government letter No.B(3)S.128/9356 dated 10.03.1998, the post of Hindi Teacher allotted to Geeta Nagar High School to which she had been appointed, stood aboli shed. Whereas, according to the petitioner, she reported at Kulhati Girls’ High School, she was not allowed to join, the Deputy Director of Secondary Education , Assam, in his affidavit, has asserted that she did not join the said school of her own. Her claim for salary has, thus has been resisted on the ground that s ince the order dated 12.01.2000, she is not rendering any service. The annexures to the writ petition reveal that the last representation s ubmitted by the petitioner was on 16.10.2001, contending that she had not been a llowed to join at Kulhati Girls’ High School. The official communication dated 06.07.2005 of the Inspector of Schools, KDC, Guwahati is last in line dealing wi th the said issue. This also appears to be the last in the series of official e xchanges thereon. This writ petition has been filed on 05.11.2009. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on a consid eration of the pleaded facts as well as the delay in the institution of the inst ant proceeding, this Court is not inclined to exercise its extra ordinary jurisd iction to accede to the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner.
