IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.269 of 2008 M.T.H.MALLICK Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02- 26.9.2008 Heard Mr. Subodh Kumar Jha for the petitioner, learned JC to Standing Counsel No.III, and Mr. Yugal Kishore for the Magadh University and its functionaries. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent authorities to make payment of the differential amount of the revised pay-scale to him with effect from 1.1.1986, and still higher scale with effect from 1.1.1996. It appears that the petitioner superannuated from the services of the Magadh University as a Librarian on 31.1.2002 and submitted his first representation dated 21.4.2007 (Annexure 3) before the Vice Chancellor of the University. The writ petition on the face of it suffers from unexplained delay, laches, negligence and acquiescence. 2. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
