THE HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.3950 of 2006 Dated: March 2, 2006 Between: M. Abdul Rasheed, S/o. Mahaboob Ali, Gr.I Hindi Pandit, Satya Sai Vidhya Nilayam, Kollapur, Mahabubnagar District, presently residing at D.No.31-5-1, Bhagath Singh Nagar, Wanaparthy, Mahabunagar District. … Petitioner And The Director & Commissioner of School Education, Saifabad, Hyderabad, and four others. … Respondents Order: The petitioner is questioning the appointment of the third respondent as Hindi Pandit. Even according to the petitioner, from the proceedings of the Regional Joint Director of School Education dated 29-12-2004 in Lr.Rc.No.8314/AII/97, it is clear that the petitioner did not turn up to the school upto 1990. Later, the fifth respondent was selected and appointed as Grade – I Hindi Pandit in the year 1990 and his appointment was also approved by the District Educational Officer and as such he is being continued. Though petitioner states that the appointment of the fifth respondent was to his knowledge, but, at no point of time, from the last about 15 years, he had taken any steps. 2. Absolutely, there is no reason at all to explain the abnormal laches and delay on the part of the petitioner in questioning the appointment and selection of the fifth respondent. In that view of the matter, I do not find any ground to admit the Writ Petition at this stage. 3. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed. ____________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. March 2, 2006 MRR
