IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2627 of 1996 1. RAM MANI SINGH @ MANI KANT SINGH, son of Sri Mukti Narayan Singh, resident of village – Atapur, P.O. Nakuni, P S – Hasanpur, District – Samastipur. 2. Krishna Bhagwan Jha, son of Sri Ram Karan Jha, resident of village Deokuli, P O – Laherisasarai, P S – Bahadurpur, District – Darbhanga. 3. Talkeshwar Ram, son of Sri Pokhan Ram, resident of Sishambha, P.O. Shakurabad, District – Jehanabad. Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR. 2. The Secretary of the Government in the Home Police Department, Old Secretariat Building, Patna. 3. The Director General cum Inspector General of Police, Bihar, Old Secretariat Building, Patna. 4. The Superintendent of Police, Jehanabad. ----------- 05. 26.10.2010 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State, the prayer made in the present writ application on behalf of these petitioners has lost its meaning in view of development in law which has overtaken the issue raised by these petitioners in the present writ application. Primary issue was regularization. With a law having been settled on this issue in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka & others vs. Uma Devi and others, (2006) 4 SCC 1, no relief as such can be granted to the petitioners. The writ application is dismissed. However, in terms of the policy formulated by the State in terms of the directions of the Constitution Bench, if the petitioners feel they are otherwise eligible, dismissal of the writ application may not come in their way. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
