The writ petition is liable to be dismissed only on the ground of laches. The petitioner wants to consider the five days earned leave starting from 26.10.1993 to 30.10.1993 as medical leave. The petitioner ought to have approached the respondents at the earliest. Even the representation in this regard was first made on 10.03.1999 and thereafter, no representation was sent. Only in the year 2010, again he sent a representation. Thus, there is a clear laches on the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 part of the petitioner in seeking redressal before this Court. In such view of the matter, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
