THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION SARAN, CHAPRA. ----------- 2. 11.04.2011 This writ application suffers from laches and delay. Petitioner has retired way back in the year, 2004 and now she has raised a grievance that her salary has not been paid for the period 29.1.1999 to 27.4.2000. There are circumstances to show that the petitioner was also taken in judicial custody due to institution of some criminal case against her the period of non-payment has a bearing thereto. In the circumstances, the Court does not want to entertain a stale and a belated kind of claim at this stage. This writ application is dismissed. Anand Kr. (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
