BHUSHAN SAHANI, S/O LATE UZAGAR SAHANI, R/O VILLAGE-DUMARI, P.S.- SUGAULI, DISTRICT-EAST CHAMPARAN. ………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 4 14.07.2011 Petitioner has challenged the appointment of respondent no.8 as Siksha Mitra in 2003. From the pleadings, it appears that he had filed complaint before the B.D.O. in 2003 itself which was rejected at that very time. However, since then the petitioner sat over the matter and for the first time has filed his complaint before the D.E.O. only on 07.11.2007. Clearly the petitioner got interested in raising his grievance only after the 2006 Rules came into force and the post of 2 Siksha Mitra was converted into regular post of Panchayat Sikshak with permanency of tenure to holders of the post. This Court therefore finds that the writ application suffers from delay and laches. Hence, the same is dismissed. Arvind/ ( J.N. Singh, J.)
