IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1221 of 2010 1. LALAN PRASAD SINGH S/O LATE RAGHUNANDAN SINGH R/O VILL RANGRA, PS.GOPALPUR,DISTT-BHAGALPUR ……………….. PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE null BIHAR,PATNA 2. THE STATE OF JHARKHAND THROUGH THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE RANCHI, JHARKHAND 3. THE DEPUTY INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE CHHOTANAGPUR RANGE, RANCHI 4. THE SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE RANCHI, JHARKHAND ……………………. RESPONDENTS ******** 02. 22.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner’s prayer is for quashing the Order arising out of Departmental Proceeding No. 90/1988, passed by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Ranchi, dismissing him from service and also Order passed by the Director General of Police, Bihar, dated 25.09.1996 in appeal preferred by the petitioner. Vide Order dated 25.09.1996, the Director General of Police confirmed the Order passed by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Ranchi and rejected the appeal preferred by the petitioner. The Orders, which were passed in the year 2 1995-96 remained unchallenged for so many years. Now, the petitioner has filed this application for quashing of these Orders. I do not find any merit in this application, since the Order awarding punishment and the Order passed in the appeal were never challenged for such a long time as such it became final. No specific reason has been shown for delay in challenging Order impugned. Hence, this writ application is dismissed. S.K.M. (Mridula Mishra, J.)
