Orders
Case Summary: WPA No. 7163/2026 The Calcutta High Court dismissed Sudip Biswas's petition seeking appointment as a Welfare Officer in jails on grounds of limitation. The petitioner had applied for a 2007 recruitment but approached the court only in March 2026—nearly 19 years later—claiming he was eligible but never called for interview. The court held the petition "hopelessly time barred," ruling that merely exchanging RTI communications with authorities does not extend the limitation period indefinitely, and the petitioner should have approached the court within reasonable time. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
