SUJATA PRIMARY TEACHER’S TRAINING COLLEGE, YARPUR, KHAGAUL ROAD, PATNA…………RESPONDENT ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Parmeshwar Roy, Adv. For BSEB:Manish Kumar, Adv. 2/ 12-Nov-08 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the School Examination Board. The petitioner has prayed for publication of result and for grant of certificate for having appeared in Teachers Training Examination held by the Board in 1989. Learned counsel for the Bihar School Examination Board has placed reliance on two Division Bench judgments/orders passed in L.P.A. No.431/2005 dated 19.5.2005 and L.P.A. No.332/2006 dated 5.1.2007 to raise a preliminary objection on account of delay. In the first case, on account of 13 years delay this Court refused to entertain a prayer for a direction for publication of result. In the second case the delay was of 16 years and on that account also the L.P.A. Bench affirmed the dismissal of writ 2 petitioner. Considering that petitioner claims to have studied in a private Teacher’s Training College which allegedly had affiliation for that session a fact which needs thorough scrutiny and which is difficult after several years and Considering the unexplained delay of about 19 years, the writ petition is dismissed on the basis of preliminary objection raised on the ground of delay. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
