IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Letters Patent Appeal No.632 of 2011 In (CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE 9845/2010) Arvind Kumar son of Late Ras Bihari Singh, resident of village Dharhara, PS Paliganj, District Patna .....Appellant Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Special Secretary-cum-Executive Director, State Health Society, Sheikhpura, Patna 2. The District Magistrate –cum- Coordinator, Director, State Health Society, Buxar 3. Civil Surgeon-cum- Secretary, Director, State Health Society, Buxar 4. Incharge-cum- Medical Officer-cum- Chairman, Rogi Kalyan Samiti, Simri, District Buxar .......Respondents ---------------------------------- 4 19-09-2011 Heard the parties. The only issue which may have been raised on behalf of appellant is that requirement of one month notice for termination of the contractual appointment for three years was required to be followed. But it appears that period of three years had itself expired on 15-4-2010 and thereafter decision was taken to bring to an end the contractual appointment on 27-5-2010. Hence, when the contract had already lapsed by efflux of time, the requirement of notice cannot subsist. In any case, we are not inclined to interfere with the order of the writ court in which liberty has been granted to the petitioner that, if so advised, he 2 may move the civil court of competent jurisdiction. In the facts of the case, we find no merit in this appeal. It is, accordingly, dismissed. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Shivaji Pandey, J.)
