IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.878 of 2011 (Arising out of CWJC No. 7946 of 2010, order dated 28.2.2011) Bijendra, son of Late Shiv Sharan Mandal, resident of village-Ram Nagar, P.S.-Runni Saidpur, District-Sitamarhi (Bihar)……..Petitioner/Appellant. Versus 1. The State of Bihar through the Secretary Rural Development Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Chief Engineer, Rural Engineering Organisation, Muzaffarpur. 3. The Superintending Engineer, Rural Engineering Organisation (Rural Work Department) Work Circle, Muzaffarpur. 4. The Executive Engineer, Rural Engineering Organisation (Rural Work Department0 Work Division, Sheohar at Sitamarhi. 5. The Assistant Engineer, Rural Engineering Organisation (Rural Work Department) Sitamarhi-II……………………Respondent/Respondents ----------- 4. 19.9.2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State. By the order under appeal dated 28.2.2011, the writ petition preferred by the appellant bearing C.W.J.C. No. 7946 of 2010 has been dismissed after noticing that he was claiming for regularization after he was disengaged as Khalasi in the year 1993. We find that only because the appellant claims to have been engaged as a Khalasi by some officers in the Rural Engineer Organisation for the period 1987 to 1993, he cannot be granted relief of entering into service as he is now 48 years of age and has moved the Court long after he was disengaged. The Writ Court has rightly held that the Constitution Bench judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka Vs. Uma Devi (3) 2 reported in 2006 (2) P.L.J.R. (SC) 363 will also stand in the way of the appellant. We find no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. Mkc/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Shivaji Pandey, J.)
