IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.302 of 2009 LALAN KUMAR, S/o Sri Rajendra Prasad Yadav, resident of village Lakshminiya, PO Dhanchouha, Via Mithai, PS Saur Bazar, District Saharsa ………. Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Regional Deputy Director of Education Bhagalpur, PO & PS and District Bhagalpur 3. The District Superintendent of Education, Bhagalpur ………. Respondents ----------- 03- 30.3.2009 Heard Mr. Bipin Bihari Singh for the petitioner, and learned Assistant Counsel to Standing Counsel no.17. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent authorities to consider his case for regularization in service of the Bihar Government as a class IV employee. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner claims to have worked on daily wages as a Class IV employee in one of the engineering departments of the Government of Bihar from 1.12.89 to 31.3.92. The State Government had formulated a scheme for absorption of such employees in the service of the Government of Bihar who had worked upto 1.8.85 by Government resolution dated 10.5.2005 (Annexure 2). The State Government extended the cut-off date upto 11.12.1990. It is evident that the notification is dated 10.5.2005 and the present writ petition was lodged in this Court on 6.1.2009. The writ petition suffers from unexplained delay, laches, negligence, and acquiescence. The petitioner also seems to be raising a stale claim. - 2 - 2. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
