IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2838 of 2008 Uday Bhanu Narayan Singh, S/o Narayan Prasad Sinha, Resident of Mohalla Judges Colony, P.S. Khagaul, District Patna. ...... Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Chief Secretary, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Secretary, Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department, Government of Bihar, Old Secretariat, Patna. 4. Vijay Kumar Verma, Vigilance Commissioner, Cabinet (Vigilance) Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. .... Opposite Parties. ----------- 03- 5.10.2009 Heard Mr. Sanjay Kumar Verma for the petitioner. This application has been filed by the petitioner of C.W.J.C. No.1002 of 2007, with the prayer to recall the order dated 18.8.2008 on which date the writ petition was dismissed in default. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. The writ petition was taken up on 7.8.2007, on which date, as prayed for by learned counsel for the petitioner, the matter was adjourned for four weeks. It was similarly adjourned on his prayer on 29.11.2007, 23.4.2008, 26.6.2008, and 29.7.2008. It was ultimately taken up on 18.8.2008, on which date it was dismissed on account of non-appearance of learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the 2 petitioner took adjournments repeatedly and finally did not appear leading to dismissal of the writ petition. It thus appears that it is a case of gross laches, negligence, and acquiescence. We are not inclined to allow this application. It is accordingly rejected. (S K Katriar, J.) (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
