SIVA RAM SHARMA Vs. STATE OF BIHAR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD Mr. Ratan Prasad Sinha, learned counsel appearing in support of this writ petition.

(2.) ACCORDING to the petitioner he was engaged as Chaukidar on daily wages, in the Bihar State Scheduled Caste Cooperative Development Corporation Limited on 1.10.1986. However, the order of his appointment or engagement is not produced before this Court. He was removed from service, after complying with the provisions of section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, by an office order issued by the Executive Engineer, South Bihar Division, Ranchi under his memo no. 702 dated 11.4.1996.

(3.) TO my mind the explanation offered by the petitioner hardly justifies the delay in filing this case. Those who came to this court earlier and in whose favour this court intervened were clearly more vigilant of their rights but the orders passed in their cases cannot be used by the petitioner to try to reopen his six years ' old case.
