IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14080 of 2007 Rajendra Sahu, son of late Babu Chand Sahu, resident of Village Pisadhi, P.S. Ekangarsarai, Dist. Nalanda. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar through the Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Primary and Adult Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Director, Primary and Adult Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The District Magistrate-cum-District Officer, Patna. 4. The District Education Superintendent, Patna. 5. The Headmaster, Madhya Vidyalaya, Chhoti Nawada, Fatuha-2, Dist. Patna. -------- Respondents ----------- 2 22.11.2011 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application is for issuance of a direction to consider the case of the petitioner for grant of new pay-scale of Headmaster to the petitioner. Admittedly, the petitioner’s date of birth being 2.1.1936, he had retired from service on 31.1.1996 and, therefore, if the petitioner has filed this writ application for grant of monetary relief after more than eleven years of his retirement (i.e. on 5.11.2007), this writ application must be held to be grossly over- delayed. That being so, this writ application is dismissed on the ground of delay and laches. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
