THE DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING, BIHAR, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA 3. THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF LABOUR EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING, BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE PRINCIPAL I.T.I., GAYA 5. THE CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATION I.T.I. (CAMPUS), DIGHA GHAT, PATNA ----------- 2. 11.3.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner claims to have completed the course of the Fitter trade from the I.T.I, Gaya in the Sessions 1991-2001. He claims to have filled up the registration form, issued admit card and appeared at the examination but is aggrieved by the non-publication of the result till date. He relies on certain order of this Court on writ petition filed in the year 2004-05 whereafter results of certain others have been published. Counsel for the State submits from one such order in C.W.J.C. No. 9954 of 2005, it appears that there were certain irregularities etc. with regard to the examination. He additionally raises the issue of delay in the claim for publication of results nearly eight years 2 later when others came to this Court in time. Since the claim of the petitioner relates to a vocational course which may facilitate livelihood, this Court observes that the writ application cannot be thrown out simpliciter on the ground of delay at this stage. Let the respondents consider his request for publication of his results when it is expected that necessary endeavour shall be made by them to obtain the necessary records and a final, reasoned and speaking order be passed by them within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
