In response to advertisement no. 1 of 1997, applications were invited to fill up vacancy in Class IV posts under Tuber Culousis Control Scheme in Health Services.. Petitioner had also applied. His grievance is that though he was selected but some one got appointed in the year 2002 by way connivance and high handedness with the respondent authorities. The relief which has been prayed by the petitioner is time barred, in view of the fact that pursuant to Advertisement no. 1 of 1997, appointment was made in the year 1998 and till 2006 petitioner had not made any attempt to find out whether he was selected for the post. Person who is not vigilant, cannot be allowed to benefit, at the belated stage. Writ application is dismissed as time barred. A. Kumar ( Mridula Mishra, J.)
