THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH ITS SECRETARY DEPARTMENT OF LAW AND JUSTICE, BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE DISTRICT JUDGE, ROHTAS AT SASARAM 3. THE DISTRICT JUDGE, VAISHALI AT HAJIPUR 4. THE DISTRICT JUDGE, EAST CHAMPARAN AT MOTIHARI 5. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, EAST CHAMPARAN AT MOTIHARI 6. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, SUPAUL -----Respondents--Respndents ----------- 2 05-04-2010 I.A. No.3102 of 2010. This is an application for condonation of delay of 13 days in preferring the appeal. We have heard Mr. Ajay Kumar Jha, learned counsel for the appellant and Mr. Arup Kumar Chongdar, learned counsel for the State. Regard being had to the averments made in the petition we are of the considered opinion, sufficient grounds do exist for condonation of delay. Accordingly, 2 delay in filing the appeal stands condoned. I.A. is accordingly allowed. L.P.A. No.612 of 2010. As we have condoned the delay, we are inclined to take up the appeal for admission and final disposal. In this intra-court appeal challenge is to the order dated 4.2.2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in C.W.J.C. No.17215 of 2009, whereby the learned Single Judge has declined to entertain the writ petition inasmuch as appellant-petitioner was called for an interview on 3.8.2005 and approached this Court on 8.12.2009 and further her grievance was, though she appeared in the interview she was not aware of the results. On a perusal of the order passed by the learned Single Judge, we are disposed to think that the writ petition was definitely hit by doctrine of delay and laches and further nothing was put forth in the writ petition on what right the petitioner claims to be selected for the post in question. 3 In view of aforesaid, we do not perceive any merit in this appeal and accordingly same stands dismissed without any order as to costs.
