Patil – AGP for Respondent Nos. 1 to 3. CORAM : D. D. SINHA AND MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ. DATED : AUGUST 16, 2010. P.C. : 1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for respondent nos. 1 to 3. 2. The grievance of the petitioner appears to be in respect of eligibility and entitlement of the petitioner to get appropriate pay scale in the category of graduate teacher with effect from 1974-75. The learned Assistant Government Pleader has pointed out to us that the petitioner was given the said pay scale with effect from 1988-89. The petitioner for the first time 2 wp-3746-10 approached this Court in the year 2010 for redressal of grievance after she has retired from service in the year 2008. There is no justification for inordinate delay caused in approaching this Court. In that view of the matter, the petition, in our view, suffers from delay and latches. The same is dismissed. (D. D. SINHA, J.) (MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.)
