IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO.1086 OF 2010 IN CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE No.15335 of 2001 WITH INTERLOCUTORY APPLICATION NO.5965 OF 2010 IN LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO.1086 OF 2010 ======================================= MD. SOHRAB S/O LATE MD. NASIRUDDIN, R/O VILLAGE NEORA, P.S. – BIHAR, DISTRICT – PATNA Vs. THE STATE OF BIHAR & 39 OTHERS APPEARANCE: ================================ MR. JITENDRA PD. SINGH & MR. ABHISHEK for the Appellants ================================= CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE And HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE S.K. KATRIAR Date: 13/7/2010 ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 2 13/7/2010 ORDER IN INTERLOCUTORY APPLICATION AND LETTERS PATENT APPEAL. The appellant has filed Interim Application 2 No. 5965 of 2010 under section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of delay of 1 year and 175 days occurred in filing the Letters Patent Appeal. It is the claim of the appellant that since the date of the impugned order he had taken ill and was suffering from sciatica, polyarthritis, irregular fever and jaundice. In support of the claim the appellant has produced a certificate dated 13th May 2010 issued by the Civil Assistant Surgeon, Public Health Centre, Charpokhari (Bhojpur). In absence of medical record, the certificate obtained by the appellant a day before filing of the Appeal is not believable. Apart from delay, we see no merit in the Letters Patent Appeal also. In the Writ Petition the appellant had challenged 2001 recruitment in the Civil Court, Bhojpur. He claimed the reservation for handicapped persons which was not provided under the statutory Rules. In any view of the matter, the 2001 selection cannot now be reopened in 2010. For the aforesaid reasons, we reject the Application. Consequently, the Letters Patent Appeal 3 also stands rejected.
