Bhore, District- Gopalganj, at present working as Assistant Librarian Sri Ram Sanskrit College, Vijayeepur, Gopalganj. ………… Petitioner Versus 1.The State Of Bihar through the Secretary, Human Resources Development (Higher Education) Govt. of Bihar, Patna 2.The Secretary, Human Resources Development (Higher Education) Govt. of Bihar, Patna 3.The Vice Chancellor, Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University, Darbhanga 4.The Registrar, Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University, Darbhanga. ……….. Respondents ----------- 2. 11/07/2011 As per claim of the petitioner, he was appointed in the College as Assistant Librarian when the College was under private management. It is claimed that subsequently the College was taken over by the University in 1982 and services of the petitioner were provisionally approved by Annexure-1 dated 14.1.1982. It is further claimed that some order was issued by the Vice Chancellor of the University in 1991, as contained in Annexure-2, by which orders were issued for payment to teaching and non-teaching employees of the College. It appears from a general order issued by the Registrar of the University dated 20.10.1991, as contained in Annexure-3, that 2 all the Principals and Incharge Principals were asked to submit details of the employees for consideration of their cases for absorption. On the basis of such communication of the Registrar of the University dated 20.10.1991, petitioner filed the writ application in 2008 for a direction to the respondents to consider his case for absorption in the College on the post of Assistant Librarian. Petitioner has relied upon an order of this Court dated 5.4.2000 passed in C.W.J.C.No.522 of 1999, as contained in Annexure-4, to pray that a direction may be issued for consideration of his case. There is nothing on the record to show that in between 1982 and 2008 case of the petitioner was under active consideration by the University for his absorption. In the circumstances, this Court finds that the writ application suffers from enormous delay and laches. The same is dismissed as such. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
