IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15764 of 2001 BHARAT SINGH s/o late Sheo Narain Singh, aged 50 years, resident of village- Amain, P.S. and District- Jehanabad. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. The Deputy Secretary to the Government, Department of Water Resources, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Inquiry Officer (S.A. Kabir), Executive Engineer, Irrigation Bhawan, Divisional no. 3, Patna. ----------- 8 10.12.2010 This writ application was earlier dismissed for default and was restored. Yesterday also no one appeared and the case was passed over. Today no one appears. Learned counsel for the State points out that the only ground for challenging the order of dismissal of the petitioner, who was Junior Engineer and has large number of charges for being unable to account for loss of substantial amount of material of government, is that the order was passed without notice to the petitioner. A reference to the impugned order itself would show that inspite of best efforts by the Department to serve notice on the petitioner, petitioner refused to appear. Newspaper advertisements were then issued inspite of which did not turn up. It is submitted that the action taken by the Department was in order and on that ground the order cannot be challenged. Be that as it may, as no one appears to press this application, the application is dismissed for non prosecution. singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J
