The petitioner is claiming appointment on the post of Panchayat Teacher, for which, vacancies were advertised in the year 2006. She submits that she had appeared in the counselling committee, with a document in 2006, with regard to the selection, some inquiry was being conducted by the vigilance department and notice has been received by her on 15.09.2021 in relation to the said investigation and the petitioner has learn that discrepancies were conducted in making selection in the

Patna High Court CWJC No.132 of 2022(2) dt.07-03-2022 2/2 year 2006. She therefore, prays for appointment now against the said advertisement.

Merely because an F.I.R. is lodged with regard to the manner of selection conducted in the year 2006 against the officials and the petitioner has been asked to give her statement no right is created in her favour of consideration for appointment now after a period of 15 years. The petitioner has failed in redressal of her grievances, if any, at the relevant time. There is no allegation by her and against the selection process after lapse of 15 years, the delay stands unexplained. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed on the ground of latches.
