JUDGMENT 1. - Heard Learned Counsel for the petitioner. 2. Petitioner's services were terminated in the year 1996 and he preferred to challenge the said order by preferring appeal before the Rajasthan Civil Service Appellate Tribunal which was dismissed on 10.11.1998 holding that the Tribunal has no jurisdiction in the matter of termination of service of employee. That order of the Tribunal was never challenged and the order dated 10.11.1998 attained the finality. The petitioner also preferred one writ petition before this Court which was decided vide order dated 06.07.2006. It appears from the judgement dated 06.07.2006 that petitioner sought relief of release of annual grade increment, however, when petitioner was asked to explain when his services have been terminated and he has preferred appeal then how he can get relief of annual grade increment. The writ petition of the petitioner was dismissed for relief of annual grade increment under the above order dated 06.07.2006. The petitioner also faced criminal case for submitting forged degree and he was acquitted by the judgement dated 03.03.2000 by the trial Court against which appeal is pending before this Court. 3. Learned counsel vehemently submitted that petitioner's services were dispensed with on the basis of the letter received by the respondent dated 10.11.1995 from the office of the Kanpur University and on the basis of that letter, it was held that the mark-sheets submitted by the petitioner were forged, however, when petitioner enquired through his Advocate by sending notice/letter dated 26.11.1995, then the Vice Chancellor of the University by communication dated 11.12.1995 addressed to the counsel for the petitioner, informed that the mark-sheets which were declared forged earlier vide letter dated 10.11.1995 was issued wrongly. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after letter dated 11.12.1995, there was no reason for respondent to keep petitioner out of job as the very foundation for dispensing with the service of the petitioner fall on the ground. The petitioner also submitted representations for his reinstatement in the year 2000, copies of which have been placed on record by the petitioner. 4. The petitioner's services were admittedly terminated in the year 1996 and he challenged that order, then he came to know In the year 1998 itself that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to entertain his appeal.
The petitioner also submitted representations for his reinstatement in the year 2000, copies of which have been placed on record by the petitioner. 4. The petitioner's services were admittedly terminated in the year 1996 and he challenged that order, then he came to know In the year 1998 itself that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to entertain his appeal. The cause of action accrued to the petitioner in the year 1998 itself even during pendency of the criminal case and he could have challenged the order of termination of 1995. Be that as it may be, the petitioner was acquitted in the year 2000 and since then petitioner has made only the efforts of submitting representations to the respondent and has approached this Court by filing writ petition in the month of December 2009,that is after delay of more than nine years. I do not find any substance in the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that if the petitioner reinstated then he will not claim to any back wages at the most. 5. The person may suffer illegal order and may choose not to challenge the order, then he is required to face consequences for that and cannot get the relief from the Court because of his own negligence, latches and delay. There is no reasonable and satisfactory explanation from petitioner for not challenging the order of his termination order of the year 1996 when he had some communication from the University concerned of genuineness of this degree. 6. In view of the above reason, this Court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition and writ petition is dismissed on the ground of negligence, latches and delay on the part of the petitioner.Writ petition dismissed. *******
