IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5699 of 2004 YOGENDRA PRASAD HARIJAN, son of Tauki Raut, resident of Mohalla – Taj Jiwan Nagar, P S – Bettiah Town, District – West Champaran. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. The Commissioner cum Secretary, Water Resource Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Director, Revenue Administration, Water Resource Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 4. The Special Officer cum Deputy Secretary, Revenue Administration, Water Resource Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 5. The Additional Collector, Revenue Administration, Water Resource Department, Bihar, Patna. 6. The Deputy Collector, Revenue Division, Gandak Project, Bettiah, West Champaran. ----------- 03. 23.7.2010 Writ application was filed by the petitioner in the year 2004 seeking a direction upon the respondents to grant him junior selection grade with effect from 7.1.1982. The only reason given for approaching the High Court after almost 22 years for the relief is that he was continuing to give several representations to the respondents to give him promotion. The Supreme Court is very clear that repeated representations are no ground for delayed filing of application for the relief. The Court is not willing to entertain such stale or outdated claims at this belated stage. The writ application is dismissed on that ground alone. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
