## Opinion text

MADDEN, Judge
(dissenting).
I would hold that the plaintiff may recover the pay which would have been paid to him, if his rights had been respected, within the period of six years prior to the filing of his suit. See Judge Littleton’s opinion in Cannon v. United States, 146 F.Supp. 827 , 137 Ct.Cl. 104 . I think the perils which the decision of the court seeks to guard against may be avoided by applying, in a proper case, the doctrine of laches.
