IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13911 of 2010 1. SMT.

THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL, BIHAR ----------- 2 13/04/2011 The facts speak for themselves. The claim is that husband of the petitioner was a Lecturer in Primary Teachers Training College, Phulwaria, Bhagalpur. He retired on 30.06.1993 and died on 4.3.1997. Writ application has now been filed that benefit of first and second time bound promotion which accrued in the year 1981 and 1985 ought to be granted since the same was - 2 - not granted. The time frame within which the cause of action arose coupled with the fact that the time bound promotion scheme came to an end way back on 1.1.1996 and that even during the life time of the husband of the petitioner no assertion of right was made, this Court has now difficulty in entertaining such stale and belated kind of claim which arose in the 20th century but is being pursued in the 21st century. This writ application is dismissed on this ground alone. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
