The prayer of the petitioners in this writ application for a direction to the respondents to pay the arrears of salary to the tune of Rs. 6133/- and Rs. 5556/- totalling to Rs. 11689/- in the period from 1994-95, 1995-96 and 1996-97 by filing this writ application on 01.11.2007 seems to be wholly belated. In fact there is no explanation in the writ application for filing of such belated writ application. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
