Gupta, C.J. (Oral) Delay Condn. Application No.4166/08 For the reasons stated, the application is allowed. The delay in filing the appeal is condoned. The appeal shall be treated to have been filed within time. SPA No.111/2008 Learned Single Judge has rightly dismissed the writ petition because after the petitioner’s appointment as a Junior Clerk in Agricultural & Technology University, Kanpur in the year 1991, the petitioner had ceased to have any lien in the Education Department of the Government of Uttarakhand. Even though the petitioner was appointed as an Assistant Teacher in 1988, by his choosing to take up another job, his lien stood terminated in the Education Department. There is no merit in this appeal which is dismissed in- limine. (Dharam Veer, J.) (V.K.Gupta, C.J.) 25.09.2008 Rdang
