IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12465 of 2002 DR.KHWAJA SABAHAT NOOR & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS With CWJC No.12015 of 2002 DR.SURENDRA PRASAD & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 9 5.5.2009 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner in either of the two applications. The impugned order dated 16.9.2002 by way of press communique only envisages cancellation of registration made by one Lakhan Prasad, former Registrar of the Bihar State Dental Council after his retirement from service on 1.12.1995. Admittedly, there can be no justification for a retired employee who continues to do an official work unless there is an order to this effect. There being no order for extension of service of Sri Lakhan Prasad beyond 1.12.1995, the decision taken by him conferring registration on any person after his date of retirement dated 1.12.1995, must be held to be invalid and accordingly, the writ applications, therefore, must be dismissed on this ground only.
