Department of Shipping (Engineer and Ship Surveyor of Inland Ships) Recruitment Rules, 1980
We have held that this contention of the writ-petitioner has no merit since the amendment was made at a time when writ-petitioner was not a contender of the post in which he was appointed and he joined in 1995. It is the contention of the learned Counsel that lapse of time is no bar in challenging legality of certain law or the Rules. The said contented would be of worth consideration in a case where the person complaining was affected by the amendment in the law. But in the instant case there in no such situation. It may be mentioned in the instant case amendment in the schedule of the Rules of 1980 was made in 1986 and the writ petitioner having had the notice thereof joined in his service in 1995. So the aforesaid contention in the background of the facts of the instant case is of no merit. Md. Muinuddin Zulfiquer vs. Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh (Md. Ruhul Amin J) (Civil) 4ADC 252
