IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.797 of 2011 MD.YOUSUF JAMAL, son of late Safeer Ahmad, resident of Dream house, C/O Muneer Ahmad, Road No.4, Rajeev Nagar, Patna-24 Versus 1. THE CHAIRMAN BIHAR SCHOOL EXAMINATION Board (Senior Secondary), Budh Marg, Patna. 2. The Secretary, Bihar Intermediate Education Council (dissolved) at present Bihar School Examiantion Board (Senior Secondary) Budh Marg, Patna. ……………. Respondents. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Md. Arif, Advocate For respondent Nos.1 & 2: Mr. Lalit Kishore, Senior Advocate Mrs. Binita Singh, Advocate -------- 3. 4.3.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Bihar School Examination Board. The petitioner seeks a direction upon the respondent authorities to conduct the interview for the post of Assistant with respect to which he had appeared in the written examination in the year 2001 itself and was declared to have passed. Thereafter, an interview letter was also sent to him for appearing in the interview, but the interview was ultimately not held. It is evident from the aforesaid facts that the petitioner has slept over the matter for the last 9-10 years and for the reasons best known to him, now he seeks reopening of the appointment process after a lapse of more than ten years. The claim raised by the petitioner in the present writ - 2 - petition is evidently a stale claim. The writ application is, accordingly, dismissed in limine. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
