17.07.2019 The petitioners have preferred the aforesaid writ petitions to assail the posts allocation made in respect ofthem on 10.5.2016. The claim of the petitioners is that according to their merit and reservation, provided to the ex-servicemen,the posts should have been allocated to them in the CISF and not in the Seema Suraksha Bal/CRPF. The petitioners should have approached the Court soon after issuance of the service allocation on
10.5.2016. They have joined their respective posts and are serving in the
2019:DHC:7546-DB Seema Suraksha Bal/CRPF. The petitions are clearly barred by delay and lache.The petitions are accordingly,dismissed.
