However, subsequently, after investigation final report was submitted in the said case. Thereafter, on 20.01.1976, the petitioner was terminated from the service.

It was submitted that no such old record is available either in the office of respondent Board or in the 2 bank. In view of the facts and circumstances, particularly the claim of the petitioner which relates to the year 1969, the Court is of the opinion that in such a stale matter writ jurisdiction may not be invoked. This writ petition stands dismissed. Saif (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
