IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.538 of 2008 MANJU KUMARI Versus THE V.C.,L.N.MITHILA UNIVERSIT & ORS ----------- For the appellant: Mr. Arun Kumar Bhagat For the respondents: None --- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --- Dated, the 22nd July, 2008 This letters patent appeal suffers from delay of 25 days. An application (IA. No.4247 of 2008) has been made seeking condonation of delay in filing the appeal. Even if we condone the delay, we are of the view that the appeal is devoid of any merit and does not deserve to be admitted. 2. The single judge in the impugned order observed thus: “On being asked, the counsel for the petitioner fairly submits that the said transfer from L.N. Mithila University to Bihar University was made way back in the year, 1992, and therefore, cause of action for claim was at least available to her in 1992.” 3. The aforesaid observation of the single judge is not controverted by the counsel for the appellant. 4. Admittedly, the writ petition has been filed in the 2 year, 2008. Thus, the writ petition suffered from laches and unexplained delay. 5. In view thereof, it cannot be said that the single judge has erred in dismissing the writ petition on that ground. 6. Letters patent appeal is, accordingly, dismissed. 7. This disposes of IA. No.4247 of 2008 as well. R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J. Neyaz/-
