IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13339 of 2009 MANJU KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ORS ----------- 2/ 13/10/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner claims to have a better case for appointment as an Angan Bari Sevika over that of respondent No.5. The claim is based on a selection process of September, 2004. The submission is that the petitioner came to this Court earlier as one of the several writ petitioners in C.W.J.C. No.7966/05 in which on 28.3.2007 her name was deleted with liberty to move in a separate writ application. Thereafter the present writ application has been preferred on 19.10.2009 nearly two and a half years later. The defence is of floods. Surely the floods did not exist for two and a half years. The petitioner has only herself to blame for being indolent in pursuing her application. In matters of appointment where third party rights are created, delay is vital. The writ application is dismissed on the grounds of delay and latches. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
