THE PANCHAYAT SECRETARY VIRPUR PANCHAYAT, KHUTAUNA BLOCK, P.S.LALMANIYA, DISTT-MADHUBANI ----------- 2/ 18.05.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner’s prayer is for a direction to the respondents to appoint him on the post of Panchayat Shiksha Mitra as respondents have illegally not selected him, though, his name was at serial no. 5th in the merit list Considering the fact that the cause of action arose to the petitioner in the year 2003 and for seven years the issue was never agitated before any appropriate forum. In these seven years several developments have taken place and the person appointed on the post was absorbed on the post of Panchayat Teacher. At this belated stage, the prayer of the petitioner cannot be entertained. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent Nos. 1 to 5 & 7, stating that petitioner never agitated this issue before any authority. 2 Considering this fact, this application is dismissed.
