IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6172 of 1996 KAPILESHWAR GIRI SON OF LATE FAKIRA GIRI RESIDENT OF VILLAGE VIDYAPATI NAGAR, DISTRICT SAMASTIPUR AT PRESENT POSTED AS JUNIOR ENGINEER, DESIGN DIVISION NO. 1, WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, DALTONGANJ. Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 6 26/10/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Two orders of punishment were imposed upon the petitioner. One was censure and other was stoppage of two annual increments (non-cumulative). Both the orders have lost their meaning years ago. Not only this, it is not evident whether petitioner continues to be in service now. In that view of the matter, no adjudication is required as the punishment orders would have lost their meaning over the years and will not come in the way of the petitioner for future prospects. This writ application is, thus, dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
